Freenoting

In a 500 pages about computer programming not all information are relevants , I remember when I was at a day job as programmer I often had to absord such big books to make it painlessly I used two methodsPhotoreading and Freenoting, taking free notes is really a method to write between the lines and only keep the relevant information eventually you will be able to go fish for more based on your notes , freenoters usually have better memory retention of what they learn.

Freenoting is an excellent method to help you to absorb knowledge from technical materials, medicine, psychology, computer, laws all these fields can be used with freenoting.

There is a small of overview of the method at Helium.com
