What you should know

- [Instructor] This course is not a beginner course. It's meant to be a fast and practical introduction to the Visual Studio Advanced Debugging Tools. I expect you to know how to work with Visual Studio. If not, check out my multipart series on this powerful developer IDE. In this course we'll use Visual Studio 2019 Enterprise edition. Some of the tools we study, like IntelliTrace are only available in the Enterprise edition. It's not a requirement that you have Enterprise edition experience however. As long as you are comfortable with any of the other editions, you'll be fine. You should be able to perform basic debug steps in Visual Studio. Concepts like break points, stepping through code, and using watch windows are a necessary skill for this course. If you need a refresher on the debug tools or are new to Visual Studio, I suggest you watch my Visual Studio Debug and Troubleshoot Code course. This three hour course shows you all the basics you need to be ready for the rest of this course. The source code for this course is written in C#, so familiarity with C# is valuable. All the source code for this course is on GitHub. We use branches for the example files. Check out the numbered branch to see the code for that video. You should know how to use the Git and GitHub tools integrated into Visual Studio. You need to clone the GitHub repository and open the solution file in the source folder. Check out the next video in this chapter to discover the GitHub repository location. So if you have the skills to continue and you are ready to discover IntelliTrace, the thread tools and more, then you are in the right place. Let's get started.
