Not in an editor, IDE, or designtool. You're well educated on how
to work with software and hardware, but what about "wetware"--our
own brains? Learning new skills and new technology is critical to
your career, and it's all in your head.In this book by Andy Hunt,
you'll learn how our brains are wired, and how to take advantage of
your brain's architecture. You'll learn new tricks and tipsto learn
more, faster, and retain more of what you learn.You need a
pragmatic approach to thinking and learning. You need to "Refactor
Your Wetware."Programmers have to learn constantly; not just the
stereotypical new technologies, but also the problem domain of the
application, the whims of the user community, the quirks of your
teammates, the shifting sands of the industry, and the evolving
characteristics of the project itself as it is built. We'll journey
together through bits of cognitive and neuroscience, learning and
behavioral theory. You'll see some surprising aspects of how our
brains work, and how you can take advantage of the system to
improve your own learning and thinking skills.
In this book you'll learn how to: Use the Dreyfus Model of Skill
Acquisition to become more expertLeverage the architecture of the
brain to strengthen different thinking modesAvoid common "known
bugs" in your mindLearn more deliberately and more
effectivelyManage knowledge more efficiently
