That debugging book is addressing something I've been thinking about recently: how does one help programmers advance their skills from a fresh entry point? I am convinced part of that is understanding how to use tools to inspect and solve problems. I'd probably buy that book based on this recommendation alone, but it is also something I was hoping to find.
I believe other key parts of helping people advance are around teaching them how to read code and how to recognize/reduce unnecessary complexity, I don't really have solutions for that as of yet. There is plenty of text on DRY, SOLID, Law of Demeter, and so on, but I don't know how to move that knowledge from academic things one knows into tools for practical use.
