Almost every Java developer uses IntelliJ debugger in everyday work – but are we taking advantage of the entire potential of its features? Of course it is impossible to show all of them within the one hour. However we can focus on the most important ones that will make our life easier - among others: - adding non-obtrusive logging - searching for the lost exceptions - altering the execution path (even with going back in time) After the presentation (in form of live coding / debugging) everyone should feel being sufficiently armoured to fight with the dragons / bugs within the code.

The talk has already been delivered at several conferences (including Devoxx Poland) and garnered quite a few complimentary comments, because it shows many useful (and not obvious) techniques that many developers are not aware of - until they see them.
