This book provides general debugging principles that can be applied in any language or environment. Myers, Glenford J. The Art of Software Testing. New York, NY: John Wiley & Sons, 1979. Chapter 7 of this classic book is devoted to debugging. Allen, Eric. Bug Patterns In Java. Berkeley, CA: Apress, 2002. This book lays out an approach to debugging Java programs that is conceptually very similar to what is described in this chapter, including "The Scientific Method of Debugging," distinguishing between debugging and testing, and identifying common bug patterns.
The following two books are similar in that their titles suggest they are applicable only to Microsoft Windows and .NET programs, but they both contain discussions of debugging in general, use of assertions, and coding practices that help to avoid bugs in the first place: Robbins, John. Debugging Applications for Microsoft .NET and Microsoft Windows. Redmond, WA: Microsoft Press, 2003. McKay, Everett N. and Mike Woodring. Debugging Windows Programs: Strategies, Tools, and Techniques for Visual C++ Programmers. Boston, MA: Addison-Wesley, 2000.
