You'll discover some surprising aspects of how our brains work, and see how you can beat the system to improve your own learning and thinking skills. In this book you'll learn how to: Software development happens in your head. Not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. It's time to take a pragmatic approach to thinking and learning, and start to refactor-and redesign-your brain. |

Written on December 16, 2008 Summary: fantastic This is a fantastically useful book. I'm reading it by opening it at random pages whenever I have a chance. It's great for sparking ideas. Written on December 12, 2008 Summary: a force multiplier for your brain I told my co-workers they should only bother with this book if they were interested in programming or thinking. :-) Like almost all of the books in the Pragmatic series this book pays for itself in the first few pages. The simple assertion that you write code in your brain not in an editor was worth the price of admission. Besides being a software developer I'm also a Tai Chi instructor and I was struck by how applicable the book is to both endevours. This book is what the military calls a force multiplier...rather than just teaching you a new fact/skill/technology it helps teach you how to learn, and that can be applied across the board. Its also a fun read.  Written on November 29, 2008 Summary: Good book for any programmer to incease his programming acumen... the concepts are very clear ad concisely given.The book is also very well organized. you need not follow the normal start to end approach that we all have to read a book,but still the pages contain a lot of good information that is useful for any software developer to go with. try this book for once , you will definitely help yourself good ... !!! Written on November 27, 2008 Summary: The brain's own "Missing Manual" As with the original book under Hunt's name, The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master, this book offers well-referenced, high level advice without devolving into the preachy behavior of a self-help novella. The book bills itself as "DIY Brain Surgery," and offers methods that actually work in practice, through this reviewer's own experiences. In addition, this book forms a large body of theory and makes a great deal of references to brain behavior in programming terms. These references may resonate with the owners of the original Pragmatic Programmer, but may put off others. However, one need not be a programmer to make use of the practices and information found in this book. Holding the DIY elements completely aside, the material found in this book is well referenced and offers a significant amount of psychological theory for any trade dealing with people and their behavior. The black swan,* of course, is optional. * See references in this book to The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable  Written on November 25, 2008 Summary: Pragmatic Thinking and Learning:Refactor your Wetware A very instructive and enlightening book on the ways we can change our thinking and learning skills. The brain is a wonderful organ. |
