SUMMARY:Andy Hunt's Pragmatic Thinking & Learning: Refactor your Wetware
DESCRIPTION: [Full details at http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/2386565/ ] 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 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. Andy looks at the importance of context and the role of expert intuition in software development.
      
      Learn to take advantage of pole-bridging and integration thinking. Compare different laterally-specialized functions\, including synthesis vs. analysis and sequential processing vs. pattern-matching. Discover the one simple habit that separates the geniuses from the "wanna-bees."
      
      Andy helps you discover how to learn more deliberately by managing your knowledge portfolio. Explore practical learning techniques including mind maps\, reading techniques\, situational feedback\, and how best to cope with the torrent of new information that assaults each of us.
      
      LEARN HOW TO:

          * Compare different laterally-specialized functions\, including synthesis vs. analysis and sequential processing vs. pattern-matching.
