If you are a developer then you should be aware of what’s new in the tech town, as new things hit the road you should be in a posi>on to understand at least why it has been
released and how useful it could be in the future. Learning new frameworks or concepts is not only good for your career but also keeps your brain ac>ve.
Once a new technology starts rolling, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the
road. -‐ Stewart Brand -‐
