This talk explores how developers can learn smarter, not harder, by applying insights from neuroscience to coding practice. You’ll discover why learning is more than storing information. We’ll dive into the difference between rate of learning and rate of retrieval, and why being a fast learner doesn’t always make you a fast retriever. You’ll learn practical strategies to make new concepts stick.

We’ll also cover how to structure your coding sessions using the primary–recency effect. Along the way, you’ll get actionable tips for boosting focus and leveraging downtime.

Whether you’re learning a new Java framework or mastering advanced concepts, you’ll walk away with science-backed tips to learn smarter, code better, and stay ahead.
