Get up-to-speed with the latest Windows C++ debugging and performance tools

This training gives an introduction to various tools which help developers and testers in finding bugs and performance issues.

The tools presented cover a wide range of problems, from general purpose debugging and CPU profiling to Windows specific high-level analyzers. Often, it is relatively simple to run a tool, but interpreting the results, or even just using some of the more advanced tools, requires deep technical knowledge.
