#090 - Become a more effective learner with Russell Helmstedter
About this episode
This week we have Russell Helmstedter (@rhelmstedter) on the show to talk about a book about learning that will blow your mind: Learn Better
We talk through the six facets of learning the book discusses:
- Value
- Target
- Develop
- Extend
- Relate
- Rethink
... and link them back to Pybites, specifically our platform.
Expect a lot of useful tips that will increase the important meta skill of learning which will of course help you become a better developer as well!
