Good job Robert. It frustrates me that the (essential) importance of logging is not emphasised sufficiently in introductory software engineering. This is a help towards getting the message out.
My suggestion would be to mention runtime configuration of filtering and enabling of loggers earlier in the explanation. This is the essential element that distinguishes a logging framework from printf etc. <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> Virus-free. www.avast.com <https://www.avast.com/sig-email?utm_medium=email&utm_source=link&utm_campaign=sig-email&utm_content=webmail> <#DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2> On Sun, Jun 12, 2022 at 2:43 AM Robert Middleton <rmiddle...@apache.org> wrote: > Since I have encountered a few people people before who have asked > questions along the lines of "why do we need good logging? and what is > logging?"
