Debug It!.Pdf Prepared exclusively for Robert Walsh Download at WoweBook.Com What Readers Are Saying About Debug It! Paul does an excellent job of explaining the technical, intellectual, and psychological aspects of all phases of debugging: preventing bugs in the first place, diagnosing and fixing bugs, and making sure that the same bugs don’t happen again. Applying any or all of the ideas from this book will improve the overall quality of your software projects. Sure, the technical issues are well covered but how Paul also explains the psychological angles is what makes this book exceptional. Frederic Daoud Author, Stripes...and Java Web Development Is Fun Again I wholeheartedly recommend this book to software engineers generally but more specifically to team leads who need to know how to set up their teams for best practice. Allan McLeod Founder and CTO, Isaacc Software Debug It! does a great job of setting the scene for debugging and get- ting you into the right mind-set while also talking about the complica- tions that can arise once the bug is found and squashed. It’s worth a look for the anecdotes alone, to see the lengths that people go to when trying to understand truly bizarre defects. Jon Dickinson Author, Grails 1.1 Web Application Development Debugging has been a folk art for so long that it’s great to have some- one put all the tried-and-true techniques together. Debug It! is the perfect book to pull out when you’re disillusioned with the brain- breaking process of creating good software. With this tool chest of assertions, logging, refactoring, and other good stuff, you’ll feel like you’re Sherlock Holmes and solving the case is inevitable. Craig Riecke Author, Mastering Dojo: JavaScript and Ajax Tools for Great Web Experiences Prepared exclusively for Robert Walsh Download at WoweBook.Com This book is like a companion volume to The Pragmatic Programmer, applying the same focus on craftsmanship to the debugging process. Ian Dees Author, Scripted GUI Testing with Ruby Paul Butcher has brought long overdue attention to the methods of debugging, a fundamental activity for every software developer yet one that remains an exercise of intuition and guesswork for most in the profession. Paul’s gentle writing style belies the discipline in his tech- nique. Before you know it, you’ll be an engineer instead of a hacker.

You can buy any number on every other aspect of software engineering such as design, code construction, requirements capture, methodolo- gies...the list is endless. And yet, for some reason, debugging has been almost (not quite but very nearly) ignored by authors and publishers. I hope that this book can help remedy the situation. If you write code, it’s a certainty that at some point (possibly very soon afterward) you’re going to have to debug it. Debugging is, more than anything else, an intellectual process—it doesn’t take place within a debugger or your code but inside your mind. Reaching an understand- ing of the root cause of the problem is the cornerstone upon which everything else depends. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to work with a number of incredi- bly talented teams on a wide range of software. I’ve worked at all levels of abstraction from microcode on bit-slice processors through device drivers, embedded code, mainstream desktop software, and web appli- cations. I hope that I can pass along some of the lessons I’ve learned from my colleagues along the way. About This Book This book is divided into three parts, each of which considers a partic- ular aspect of debugging:

  • Trinitarian Prayer
    2 Introduction to Pilgrim Groups The spiritual disciplines create a path from our physical world into the new world of the Kingdom of God; a world which is breaking in around us. On this path, we learn to think about and respond rightly to God. We open space in our lives to become aware of God interacting with us. We begin to see His beauty unfolding in and around us, and His work accomplished through us. This is the pilgrimage we are presently undertaking. This Village journey has several objectives: first, to further develop community within the Village. Pilgrim Groups are a specific discipleship structure of the Village, and we ask that people who participate in them be active participants in the community, attending worship services at the Village and so forth during their time in the Pilgrim Group. Within this context, the Pilgrim Group is designed for the practice of some of the disciplines of the faith together (these may vary depending on the topic & structure of the particular study & group); to discuss our sexuality in healthy ways; to confess sin, pray for each other, and experience healing; to develop leaders; to grow in knowledge and application of the Bible; and finally, to further the discussion of our vocation in the Kingdom of God. The Discussion... In response to another person’s sharing, group members should refrain from giving advice or telling their own stories as a way of instruction. This is a time to pursue one another by asking open-ended questions and practicing active listening. Try to use clarifying statements like, “What do you mean by _____?” or, “Tell me more about _____.” Instead of offering answers to people’s problems, consider praying together with the laying on of hands as a default solution.

Fox Harrell School of Literature, Communication, and Culture Georgia Institute of Technology Dr. Michael Nitsche School of Literature, Communication, and Culture Georgia Institute of Technology Date Approved: April 05, 2010 To my grandfather, Albert Ferrari, who bought me a Nintendo when I was two years old, worked three jobs so that I could grow up to be whoever I wanted to be, and remembered my name in the throes of Alzheime ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my graduate advisor, Professor Ian Bogost, for taking me under his wing from the first day I came to Georgia Tech forward. It is somewhat inconceivable that I could have made it this far without his guidance. Special thanks go to my friends Bobby Schweizer and Charles Pratt, who pointed me in the direction of ideas that helped hone my thoughts. Secondly, many thanks to my parents for supporting my decision to pursue videogame studies as a career despite their genetically attributed desire for me to someday become a doctor or lawyer. Finally, I’d like to thank Sarah for her continued love and good humor.

The thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other University. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost I am indebted to the men of 2/2 Battalion: those I got to know, and those long-dead whan I met in letters and diaries. In 1981-1982 I received invaluable help from Michael Piggott, Bill Fogarty and Geoff McKeown at the Australian War Memorial's Research Library. At that time I also met and talked with many scholars about war, soldiers and history. For their special interest and encouragement I thank the late Professors Sir Keith Hancock and John Robertson. For their helpful advice I thank EXidley McCarthy and Drs David Horner, Robert O'Neill and Hank Nelson. Many more people than I can name here helped me in various ways but two deserve mention; Virginia Stuart-Smith for her very timely support and Olwyn Green, a fellow traveller down 2/2 paths since 1981, for her sustaining interest.

Mullins August 2017 © 2017 William E. Mullins. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled The Higher Education Chaplain within a Post-Secular Context: A Case Study of Providing a Religious and Spiritual Reality on a 21st Century Campus by WILLIAM E. MULLINS has been approved for the Department of Counseling and Higher Education and The Patton College of Education by Peter Mather Professor of Counseling and Higher Education Renée A. Middleton Dean, The Patton College of Education 3 Abstract MULLINS, WILLIAM E., Ph.D. August 2017, Higher Education, The Higher Education Chaplain within a Post-Secular Context: A Case Study of Providing a Religious and Spiritual Reality on a 21st Century Campus Director of Dissertation: Peter Mather The purpose of this study is to examine the lived experience of the higher education chaplain. The reason for this study is that many students attribute importance to religious and/or spiritual quests. The study is a qualitative reflexive case study of three institutions that employ higher education chaplains. The goal of the study is to better understand the role the chaplain plays in a student’s undergraduate experience. The lived experience of the chaplain is examined through a phenomenological lens of care within the current postsecular moment. The higher education chaplain offers a transformative praxis of care for students, faculty, and staff on the 21st century postsecular campus.
