A friend of mine is a tutor at TU Darmstadt, teaching very fresh
computer science students the very first steps of Java.
He thinks, and I agree, that it's a good idea to show them a proper
logging framework right ahead so they don't even start putting
System.out into their programs.
While he's doing the introduction himself right now, it would be nice
to have a small explanation about e.g. the meaning of the different
levels in addition to the HelloWorld example.
The section on the MDC should at least mention that the values are
stored per-thread. LOG4J and Logback documentation point this out but
SLF4J defines an API on it's own which Logback happens to implement
so it's probably the wrong way around...
I know that it's pretty hard to write an introduction for n00bs but
your intention should be to "catch them while they are fresh" ;)
If they start using java.util.logging and keep using it because it
somewhat fits their needs and they "know it" then it's bad for the
whole java community. :p
I'm considering to give it a try :)
Would your friend be interested in reviewing such documentation, perhaps
even with the intent of providing it to the students?
