WHO:
Scott Hanselman
Scott Hanselman works out of his home office for Microsoft as a Principal
Program Manager, aiming to spread good information about developing
software, usually on the Microsoft stack. Before this he was the Chief
Architect at Corillian Corporation, now a part of Checkfree, for 6 years. He
was also involved in a few Microsoft things for many years like the MVP and
RD programs and will speak about computers (and other passions) whenever
someone will listen.

TOPIC:
Information Overload and Managing the Flow: Effectiveness and Efficiency
As developers, we are asked to absorb even more information than ever
before. More APIs, more documentation, more patterns, more layers of
abstraction. Now Twitter and Facebook compete with Email and Texts for our
attention, keeping us up-to-date on our friends dietary details and movie
attendance second-by-second. Does all this information take a toll on your
psyche or sharpen the saw? Is it a matter of finding the right tools to
capture what you need, or do you need to unplug?
