About this Presentation
You're a talented coder and you apply many agile practices to your daily workflow. Still, you are looking for that next boost to better keep track of information, manage your open applications, make working with the terminal more productive, recall information quickly, manage files rapidly, and produce documentation in a portable and effective manner.
This presentation will show you how to apply DevonThink, Delicious bookmarks, RSS feeds, Pinboard.in, Pomodoro, Things, LaunchBar, Bash profiles, mind maps, markdown files and spotlight filters to become a more productive developer that has a world of information sorted and accessible at a moment's notice.
This presentation focuses on developers using the Mac platform (though a few tips are portable) since Matthew has significant experience in productivity research on this platform.
