Weekend Code Warrior: Building API’s Quicker by James Gibson

RSVP ON MEETUP

Ever had a great idea to solve or automate a task but then gotten so bogged down by setting up the project correctly that you convinced yourself it wasn’t that good of an idea in the first place?

Project setup is annoying. Our time is valuable, especially when we are programming on our own time. The Express generator is a good place to start, yet there are many more pieces to wire in before you have a functional, secure API.

How do we prevent project setup from interfering with solving the actual problem?

In this talk, I will explain a few of the practices I've identified to make this process smoother. We will touch on the local dev environment, deployment and hosting, security and authentication, and build processes, as well as a peek at an Express wrapper I’m writing to address some of these challenges.

Solving problems faster to make more time for Netflix.
