Coding with Holger Holger Steinhauer

It's episode 20, everyone!


And such a round number calls for a special topic! Guess what, we found one: Communities

This episode also is a first guest wise as we have two guests: Olimpiu Pop and Nicola Corti.

Our guests and Holger speak about their journeys, learnings and advice about founding, organizing and running communities. All three have their fair share of experiences as they are involved in several Meetup groups and other communities like Java Advent.

Welcome to this fantastic episode about the Go language. Bill Kennedy joins me this time, and we have a great chat about the history of Go, why he loves the language so much, how community works, the cloud... Too many things to put in here. So check it out.

You are in for a treat. I got Manuel Meurer from Uplink to speak about his journey with Ruby and Ruby on Rails.

And we had a fantastic conversation with a great look into the good and the not-soo-good-for-Ruby sides of things.

After the Kotlin episode, what could better fit than one about Android development?!

Finally. This is an episode I was really looking forward to. It is all about Kotlin.

The incredible Marcin Moskala joins me to speak about my current programming language of choice.


Marcin is a passionate software developer and entrepreneur. His training platform KtAcademy provides a variety of different courses.

He is also the author of books like Effective Kotlin from which he publishes parts for free on KtAcademy and Twitter.


Alongside our chat about Kotlin we also dive into the topic of technology hypes or "waves" as Marcin puts it.
