The first Tuesday of each month, one of the members of the team gives a Tech Talk, and by popular request we’ve started to stream these live.
Last night in our February Tech Talk, we were lucky enough to have two team members give a joint presentation on CocoaPods: Cesare Rocchi and Orta Therox.
Here’s the video for anyone who didn’t get a chance to watch!
