Beyond the Code #08 – A trip to San Jose, California

Our story about a trip to this year’s WWDC 2018.

Today’s episode is may be considered as a special one. But going to the WWDC conference is not only a good learning experience, but also quite an interesting story to tell for all kinds of software engineers.

That’s why for today’s episode we’ve invited Michał, who spent the beginning of June in the USA, during the WWDC 2018 conference (but as you will hear in the episode, that’s not the only interesting event happening there).

Listen to the 8th episode

A quick reminder. The idea of Beyond the Code is simple. We would like to focus on different sets of skills that might be useful for software engineers, which are not coding/programming/prototyping, etc. You can expect new episodes, around 30 minutes long, every second Wednesday.

We’ve already published several episodes of our podcast – check them out if you still haven’t :). Please note that we’ve decided to run the podcast in Polish, although we are still planning to invite several foreign guests for episodes recorded in English.
