[m-users.] newbe tutorial on development workflow and debugging

[Daniel Gross]

Hi Sean,

Thanks.

So, how do you debug your code ... by adding inline writes ...

I see step by step tracing of a program / debugging as part of the learning
opportunity during problem solving.

Would emacs be the only way to get a good debugging view -- i understand
that there also exists an eclipse plugin -- but it looks dated.

thanks,

Daniel
