<description>Debugging does not have to be an art. What makes it an art is our own lack of mastery of the subject, hence need to meander our way to trouble shooting.

Some people say coding and design too is an art, and one can find some pretty crazy programs and system designs out there. That is why code reviews and design reviews came about in late 80s, to make them follow few basic conventions and standardizations.

Each computer language and software evolves its own best practices in coding and debugging. We make art out of them out of our own expediency. 

GDB/DDD/Eclipse are not art for me, they sound  greek to me. What the heck are they? </description>

<description>It is true in a way, but having a good course in debugging is always beneficial. While it does take away some of the magic around this art, the benefits to budding pracitioners is immense. 

Without a set of basic guidelines, it does turn off some of the less determined beginners, such as when the time comes to choosing the optional subjects in engineering courses. </description>

<description>ganadeva, don&#039;t you think that debugging is also an art, wherein you develop your own style and approach..i agree that at times, we need to follow the conventional step by step process, but at times, once own style and the way one cracks the problem matters. don&#039;t you feel so?
