DILE tutorial: basics
Link to the tutorial (3.8 MB!)
Finally, I have finished the first tutorial for DILE. It just shows some basic features of DILE and should be enough to get you started with it.
Basically, the animation shows how to debug a newly created, very simple application (which just adds two numbers). It demonstrates how to start the application in DILE, how to step through the code, check the call stack, loaded modules, local variables/arguments, evaluate expressions and how to use the Object Viewer. There are lots of explaining messages that will - hopefully - make clear why some things work differently in DILE.
Please, let me know of what you think of this tutorial, whether it's really useful, whether I should make more and if yes, then I'd be glad to hear ideas on what should the following ones be about (I have a few more subjects on my mind though). Of course, I'd also like to hear if you think that I should do something differently in such tutorials. And - as always - if you have anything else to say about DILE then just send me an e-mail or leave a comment. :-)
One more thing, if you are planning to link to the tutorial (why would anyone do that though?), then please link to this blog entry. Sooner or later (but rather later...) I will create a homepage for DILE and then I will move the tutorials there also and I'll update the link to it in this post. Thanks!
P.S.: As Sebastian suggested, I have used Wink for creating this Flash animation.
