SUMMARY:
The Productive Programmer by Neal Ford
Have you ever noticed that some old-school developers can
run rings
around you at the keyboard? Have you ever seen a 2 week
problem become
a 2 hour solution because someone knew a better way to solve
it? This
session is about all the command line and other tools that
are
extremely powerful yet widely neglected in today's
graphical
environments. This session shows you how to take advantage
of those
tools whether you run Windows, *Nix, or Mac. It focuses on
specific
recipes to make your job easier. I'll show you how to get
around your
computer in a hurry (no more clicking around in trees), how
to find
anything fast, how to manage projects and artifacts from the
command
line, how to automate the repetative tasks you find yourself
doing
every single day, how to stop repeating yourself, and how to
stop
repeating yourself. This session is guaranteed to improve
your
developer productivity by an order of magnitude.
Key Session Points
* Creating a common environment
* The Unix philosophy (without Granola or sandals)
* Automating common programming tasks
* Getting around in a hurry
* Searching techniques
* Text techniques
* Project management from the command line
* Stop repeating yourself
