Code Retreat Global Day: Retrospective

Yesterday was the day.

I had been waiting for it for a long time. Lots of people join together all around the world to improve their skills as Developers.

I had the chance of attending the Madrid meeting. It was carried on by Enrique Comba. There I found a lot of people that I met first time in another Code Retreat, a year ago. I met new people too.
