Once you get past the "basics", you still have loads more ahead of you. The book covers debugging scenarios like a corrupted heap, a deadlock, or 100% CPU usage, as well as debugging tasks, like following the trail of an LPC request from the client to the server, peeking at the token count of a semaphore, and reconstructing a partially-corrupted stack—and illustrates each investigation with both discussion and annotated debugger output. All the things that seasoned developers take for granted (because they have become instinctual after years of experience) are spelled out for you.

"I’ve been debugging my own Windows applications and device drivers for over ten years, but when I reviewed the manuscript I learned about new techniques, tools, and debugger commands that I’d never come across, and that I’ve already found use for."
