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.
