Take Control of Logging and Tracing in Windows Azure

摘要

Like many programmers, when I first started writing code I used print statements for debugging. I didn't know how to use a debugger and the print statements were a crude but effective way to see what my program was doing as it ran. Later, I learned to use a real debugger and dropped the print statements as a debugging tool. Fast forward to when I started writing code that runs on servers. I found that those print statements now go under the more sophisticated heading of "logging and tracing," essential techniques for any server application programmer.
