The Pragmatic Bookshelf | Pragmatic Thinking and Learning - 0 views

  • Software development happens in your head. Not in an editor, IDE, or design tool. You’re well educated on how to work with software and hardware, but what about wetware—our own brains? Learning new skills and new technology is critical to your career, and it’s all in your head. In this book by Andy Hunt, you’ll learn how our brains are wired, and how to take advantage of your brain’s architecture. You’ll learn new tricks and tips to learn more, faster, and retain more of what you learn. You need a pragmatic approach to thinking and learning. You need to Refactor Your Wetware.

Un projet sans développeur ? | Industrialisation des développements PHP - 0 views

  • Il ne s'agit pas de s'en passer  totalement : même les générateurs de code doivent être programmés par quelqu'un....
  • celui qui a produit le code
  • devient rapidement un passage obligé pour nombre de phase de vie de l'entreprise, alors même que le code a quitté son giron depuis longtemps.

  • Quand on travaille sur du code dans un projet, il est important de savoir s'en séparer, de couper le cordon ombilical. Si on est le seul à maîtriser une application, on devient indispensable, et on risque aussi de finir enchaîné à des corrections et évolutions infinies.
  • On peut assurer de nombreuses tâches comme ceci : tests unitaires automatiques (phpunit alltests.php) analyse statique (pmd) déploiement (phing, capistrano)
  • un script de déploiement automatique permettra de le faire sans interroger l'auteur du code
  • comment mes utilisateurs pourront-ils faire des modifications sans passer par moi?

Random Thoughts By Marc Rohde » 5 Simple Techniques to Maintain Focus - 0 views

  •  
    This link is not working for me. It looks like the trailing slash is required for the page to load in (http://....maintain-focus/). The bookmark does not have that last slash in it. Don't know if it is a diigo bug or user input errors.

Manifesto | Slow Blog - 0 views

shared by Sarah HL on 19 Feb 09 - Cached
  • Slow Blogging is a rejection of immediacy
  • like the pixels that give your words form are precious and rare
  • a reversal of the disintegration into the one-liners
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • willingness to remain silent amid the daily outrages
  • a rejection of Pagerank
  • Follow your own pace and find your works never found; refuse Pagerank its favours and your work is pulled as if by riptide into the deep waters of undifferentiated results.

Black hat un jour black hat toujours ? | Black hat life | discodog.fr - 0 views

  • j’ai appris qu’il est bon de régulièrement faire le point sur ce que l’on pense faire de mal ou de bien
  • Peux t’on revenir à des techniques de référencement traditionnelles quand on a gouté aux joies des tactiques seo avancées ?
  • Pourquoi pas mais aurais-je l’audace de facturer un prix exorbitant pour donner des conseils que je trouve totalement obsolètes et quasi inefficaces ?
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Et puis d’abord,ou est la limite entre black et white ? Le cloaking,ok c’est black spam guest book / commentaire , ok c’est black… Mais qu’en est t’il de l’utilisation des fabuleux outils tels que LFE ou BMD ?
  • Comme seules alternatives je ne vois que le conseil et l’édition,mais comment faire comprendre à un client que l’on maitrise tous ces aspects à la fois,c’est invendable et surtout c’est dérangeant !

Internet et Google vont-ils finir par nous abrutir ? - Framablog - 0 views

  • Consulter de nombreux sites apporte finalement très peu de connaissances. Je me force maintenant à résumer tous les documents lus en utilisant un schéma type brainstorming en mettant les concepts abordés et les liens entre eux. C'est un essai. et pour l'instant ça marche, je retiens les sites consultés et les informations apportées de manière durable et assez précise.

  • Je me souviens d’un prof de marketing qui en début d’année nous avait expliqué que l’excuse « je n’ai pas le temps » ne devait plus faire parti de notre vocabulaire. « Nous avons toujours le temps, il faut simplement décider des priorités. Vous n’avez pas fait votre devoir ; ne me dites pas que c’est par manque de temps ; dites moi plutôt que ce n’était pas votre priorité ! »

How do you know when you are effective? - Knowledge Jolt with Jack - 0 views

  • But what about those measures?  Well the problem is that either you get very complex and specific to the job with the not-entirely-useful metrics like number of articles written or lines of code written.  Or you step back and look at the evidence of effective and productive work.  Combining my thoughts with those from Matt's article you have things like: Time spent on activities directly related to your objectives and those of the company. Previously-read mail in the inbox (awaiting some action).  Ideally, kept to a minimum Amount of incoming / outgoing email.  There is no specific number here, but I think the flow of email indicates something.  Too much flow and you are spending all your time reading and responding - there is probably a better way to spend your time. Similarly, outside of email, there is time spent looking for things: files, information, people.  Can you organize your own information in ways that make sense for you?  Can you work with the company to provide better access to information that is otherwise hard to get? Time spent on interruptions: colleagues, phone calls, IM's, etc.  This should also be kept to a reasonable minimum.  Learn how to tune out that co-worker who always talks over the cubes.
