Conference Day 2
Extracting wisdom from stupidity
Sunday 2nd October 09:00 - 09:45
This talk is about 'thinking'. Most of the time we take the process for granted, but so much of our daily lives depends on effective use of this most basic of abilities. It revolves around the ideas and books of Edward de Bono (6 thinking hats, lateral thinking) and how those ideas are related to a developers job.
So how does this pertain to extracting wisdom from stupidity?
I hope to show you not what, but how I learned by being stupid - and that the programmer's love of logic can sometimes be as much an asset as an obstacle.
