    It's a shame that debugging isn't usually explained or taught in most courses even though it's one if not the best tool a developer has. It's a good thing that people like you make videos about this to let learners know about it. I want to share a little tip with everyone: you can use a conditional breakpoint to execute whatever piece of code you like, for example automatically edit a variable's value instead of doing it yourself everytime or log something with a print without even touching the code

      @@tibettenballs4962 it kinda does, any browser should have the dev tools, you have to find your js file in the sources tab and do the debugging thing there. Otherwise for IDEs you can attach the process which is kinda like the first option but you do all the debugging from the ide window

    Hi John, I've recently start studding coding, computers were my passions since ever, and now I've made the jump and pretend to quit from my job and do this for full time, also recently I've discovered your channel, is a huge pool of knowledge and inspiration for me, some topics are still out of my reach as a new student, but i can appreciate the value of this videos, soon some of them would become gold for me.
    So congratulations for your efforts, it,s something big, and just want to cheer you up!! i will keep having and eye on your videos even if still cant follow every topic. Thanks!!

    Quite excellent. While watching I had some "Yeah, but" or "but what about?" moments and I can say that by the end of the video you quite literally covered all of them.
    Many larger places with more legacy code might have painted themselves into a corner with Eclipse dependencies. I am going to very soon find out for my next/current work environment, but I've worked at least two places where you pretty much were forced to use Eclipse for various reasons, grumbling about how your favorite IDE was better and more productive was optional.

    • @CodingWithJohn
      @CodingWithJohn  3 роки тому

      Yep, the comment I've received the most here was, "Why not IntelliJ?" Although I mainly use IntelliJ, I had assumed most newer learners tended to use Eclipse, but that may not be the case anymore. So I'm planning to do a subscriber poll soon to try and get an idea of the most used IDE, and might end up making a switch for future videos.
