Triangle Java Users Group Presents:

Pragmatic Thinking and Learning

presented by Andy Hunt

Monday, September 15, 2008
6:30 PM - 9:00 PM

4001 E. Chapel Hill-Nelson Highway
Research Triangle Park, North Carolina

Abstract:
Software development happens in your head; not in an editor, IDE, or 
design tool. We’re well educated on how to work with software and 
hardware, but what about wetware—our own brains? Join Andy Hunt for a 
look at how the brain really works (hint: it’s a dual-processor, shared 
bus design) and how to use the best tool for the job by learning to 
think differently about thinking. Discover one simple habit that 
separates the geniuses from the "wanna-bes." We'll also look at tricks 
and tips you can use to learn more faster, and retain more of what you 
learn. You’ll also learn one proven technique that will improve your 
daily productivity by 20%-30%.
