Build Your Own Cortana Skill
Description
No-one writes software without getting stuck from time to time. Whether it's an API not working as expected, an algorithm not producing the right results, or a vexing exception, it's a rare day when coding is just plain sailing. So what do you do when you hit a problem?
In this talk I'll walk through some strategies and techniques so that you can:
- Narrow down where a problem occurs
- Reproduce the problem in a debug-friendly environment
- Write a log as you go, to avoid going down blind alleys multiple times
- Capture your problem concisely but precisely, to ask colleagues for help, report a bug or post on Stack Overflow.
While there are no true silver bullets in computing, the ability to work on solving problems in a methodical way is as close as I've found. Level up today!

elschmitt77 I find that I run into caching issues constantly when working with .js files and using Chrome. I have to forcefully reload the .js file or reset my Chrome defaults. It's weird and has caused some serious head banging because I just couldn't figure out why my code didn't appear to do what it should have. Of course, now I'm so accustom to it, that I just naturally assume that Chrome is caching the files, so I don't freak out as much! Still, I wish I had a way to force reload the .js file on a "run without debugging".
Not sure if I should be commenting here for this or not.

harleydk Am not seeing the video - hasn't been released yet? The main keynote from the .net conf 2017 I can see, no problem.
-
Glen The main keynote posted on the front page is really the whole thing for day 1. If you go to the 4 hour mark, that is where this session starts.
-
leppie @harleydk and @Glen The video is at timestamp 4:00:00 of the 9 hour keynote video.

treignier Question: when or is there an out-of-the-box printing possibility of method parameters & *values* in the stack trace file dumps when an application crashes? Coming from the smalltalk world this was available from day 1. I read about a couple of techniques on stackoverflow but which one is the best with no or less work? Ultimately .Net should delivering that capability. From an outside dev I am simply wondering: how-hard can it be ;)
Thanks

CaRDiaK @elschmitt: you can use incognito mode to test your changes as it won't have remembered anything.
A trick we use when forcing changes to sites in production is adding a query string to the url from a page that is referencing the file that effectively does nothing, however, it is a signal for chrome to reload it.
e.g. <script src="~/public/js/my-file.js?v=1.1"></script>
If a change is made to my-file.js and we need to be absolutely sure the user gets the change and might not reload their cache it becomes <script src="~/public/js/my-file.js?v=1.2"></script> which as far as Chrome is concerned is a different file.
