			In <A href="http://codebetter.com/blogs/james.kovacs/archive/2008/05/07/becoming-a-jedi-part-1-of-n.aspx">this post</A> James Kovacs is talking about becoming a ReSharper Jedi.  Recently I attended a training class given by <A href="http://www.jpboodhoo.com/blog/">JP Boodhoo</A> who is probably Obi Wan to these guys, if not Yoda himself.  </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/travisl/archive/2008/05/08/60593.aspx"><DIV>
I admit to being completely overwhelmed for most of the week, not the least reason being the obsession with this topic - <SPAN>Keyboard=Good Mouse=Bad.</SPAN>  </DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/travisl/archive/2008/05/08/60593.aspx">
But I can tell you for certain that in my programming career it is never the speed of clicking <SPAN>File | New</SPAN> that slows my development efforts.  Or the speed of using the mouse to right click on the project and Add a Class.  Sure hitting some key combination would be FASTER.  But I just don't need that kind of speed.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/travisl/archive/2008/05/08/60593.aspx">Most of my time is spent thinking.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/travisl/archive/2008/05/08/60593.aspx">
It is really a bit humbling to me.  I imagine these guys are so much smarter than I am, that in their mind they have already written the next 3 classes and they just need to push them onto the disk as fast as they can so they can move on to the next project.  Wow!</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/7311EBB8-FE69-4BDC-AA51-3D5AE64CDD4E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
