Abstract

IDE, or a tool, it's you. How we learn new technology and acquire
new skills is key to our careers. Join Andy Hunt for a presentation
that includes a recap of The Dreyfus Model (from his popular talk "Herding
Raceshorses and Racing Sheep") and a look at how to boost your
career by Integrating Brain Modalities, Accelerating Learning, and
Managing the Torrent.
