In the fith episode of Beyond the Code – you can hear Kacper for the first. He had to face the challenge of learning brand new technologies in the short period of time. It was a similar case with Przemek – who might sound familiar to you, as he was already part of one of the episodes.
We’ve decided to check which of the ways of quick learning of new technologies work best. Studying documentation? Maybe just start and worry at the first obstacle. You have also other option – asking a team buddy, online course, workshops – endless possibilities, but not a lot of time to go through everything.
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.
