The Developer's Guide to Learning - 200OK 2018
The ability to learn things is an essential part of the developer’s toolkit, which is only getting more important as we march into the future. New technologies and new tools are released constantly. Even if you’re on a fixed tech stack on a long-running project, you need to evaluate and adapt to new versions of your tools and new software idioms as they're released.
The thing is, we’re never really taught HOW to learn things - we’re expected to just figure it out ourselves. It is my opinion that this is Really Terrible. If you share that opinion, do something about it by coming to this talk! Do you wonder about learning types? We'll cover those. Do you wonder how learning a new framework is different than learning best practices for that framework? We’ll discuss that, too! We’ll also talk about the neuroscience of learning, how your brain connects cause and effect, the tricks your memory plays on you, and more. By the end, you’ll hopefully have the tools you need to learn anything efficiently and effectively.
