Slides

In 2004, 2005, and 2006, Andreas Zeller gave courses on automated debugging based on the book at Saarland University, Germany, University of Washington, USA, and Elba, Italy. All of the 600+ slides are now available for download.

Each set of lecture slides roughly corresponds to one chapter in the book and was presented in a 80-minute lecture. (Faster speakers would allocate 60 minutes per set.) Note that the slides are not self-contained; as a student, you still need the book for details.

The slides were originally created in Keynote 2 format (for Mac OS X) and exported (with slight losses) to PDF and PowerPoint formats. The author recommends Keynote for the best viewing and presentation experience.
