Settling for traditional resources can seem convenient when trying to learn a new skill or technology, but it is far from the most effective way. One must learn how to speak about it, apply it in the real world, what the use cases are, and so on. And what’s the best way to do that? Hearing from industry experts who have been around it, studying it, mastering it, writing about it for years. KBE Insider, hosted by CNCF Ambassador Chris Short and Developer Langdon White, lets you reach those people, hear what they have to say, and interact with them.
