Mar 12, 2014: Common Solutions to Vexing Problems – Part 7

Arnie Rowland
Common Solutions to Vexing Problems – Part 7

Arnie will discuss several common, but complex, problems that many folks encounter in their daily work; problems that are often difficult to conceptualize. Arnie will demonstrate processes to employ in order to ‘re-think’ the problem, and then how to find a simple solution. If you have a particularly vexing problem, you are invited to submit it by Tuesday, March 11th for consideration to be discussed. (If you send code, please obfuscate.) Contact Arnie on the [About] page.
