Modular Apps and Internal APIs
As an application becomes more complex or needs to provide multiple services, breaking it into smaller applications can save you time in development, deployment and testing. A simple API between the apps can help keep them DRY. This talk will focus on how and why we employ these ideas at Lab42, and also provide some tips and gotchas.

About the Presenter
Kabari Hendrick is the CTO at Lab42 Market Research and a generally spectacular guy. He dislikes twitter but can be tweeted @RipTheJacker and his code hangs out at github.com/RipTheJacker.

After most downtown meetings we head over to Elephant & Castle (185 N. Wabash) for refreshments & fellowship. Join us for a few minutes if you have time.
