Anki is a simple yet powerful flashcard generating program which makes remembering things easy. Because it is a lot more efficient than traditional study methods, you can either greatly decrease your time spent studying, or greatly increase the amount you learn.
This software has literally changed my life, I make flashcards of all the stuff I learn on the web, like some cool javascript hack or some elegant python script, it all goes to anki, and once in a week I review it to brush it all up.
While I use anki mainly ro retian my development notes,you can do a lot with ANKI:
- learning a language
- studying for medical and law exams
- memorizing people's names and faces
- brushing up on geography
- mastering long poems
- even practicing guitar chords!
