Smash the Bug: Episode 44
Your host: Joseph Maxwell, Founder and CEO of SwiftOtter, Inc.
Special Guest: Peter Rusin, Certified Senior Magento Developer from Cracow, Poland
Peter Rusin, a Senior Magento Developer out of Poland, has a unique skill that he loves to exercise. When he comes across a monstrous challenge, he creates a tool to beat it, and he shares it openly with the community. Peter might be a great guy to get to know. He was kind enough to chat with Joseph about what his modules do, why he created them, and how to get started using them.
