Geek Girls Carrots would like to invite you for our next Meetup: Scaling your project with APIs!

Agenda:

Welcome from GGC & 8fit

Experimenting with APIs (Alex)

APIs give developers access to a hidden world of content and statistics. For those who haven’t worked with APIs before and want to start experimenting, this talk will go through the basics of how API resources work, where to find them, and how to use them in ways their own creators never even dreamed of.

Style Guide: How & Why (Lily)

When scaling a modern app, you face the challenge of keeping its design consistent. Creating a pattern library is a cross-functional project made easier by tools like Storybook. Learn how a pattern library can make building UI as quick and fun as Legos, and what one question you should ask a team to keep design debt in check.
