Troubleshooting and Debugging Techniques
In this course, we’ll give you the tools to quickly identify and solve real-world problems that you might come across in your IT role. We’ll look at a bunch of different strategies and approaches for tackling the most common pitfalls of your code and IT infrastructure. You’ll learn strategies for approaching almost any technical problem and then see how those apply to solving different real-world scenarios. We picked examples that include general system issues, issues with software that someone else wrote, and issues with programs that we wrote. We’ll talk about problems that can affect any operating system, and we’ll also look at challenges specific to certain platforms and scripting languages.
We strongly recommend that you’ve taken the prior courses in this program, or already have knowledge of Python and Linux so that you can follow along with our troubleshooting examples.

Reviews
Good review for me for most of this.. but I learned a lot more than I expected. I think it proves that there are endless possibilities and that collaboration is key in this business.
The course introduced me to many tools and concepts used in the world of troubleshooting and debugging. Many of the tools I will be using on the job and at home!
This course helped me to discover so many new tools that come prebuilt into Linux and Mac systems. This is an excellent addition to my skillset. Thank you.
Super fun and very interesting. The lessons at the end were very dry, but I could see how they would help those who have trouble managing their time.
