APIs are awesome. Mashing up APIs is awesometacular. This presentation will walk through mashing up web-based APIs from Yahoo and Google with a local API connecting ImageMagick and node.js to build a meme generator. APIs, mash-ups, cats, babies, slogans, and node. What's not to love?
Bio:
Greg Bulmash is a living urban legend, recovering stand-up comic, and retired professional substitute karaoke MC who somehow ended up as Senior Editor of the Internet Movie Database in the 90s. In the oughts he let his geek flag fly, taught himself PHP, and started a second act as a developer.
Currently, he spends his days as a Developer Evangelist at Avalara and his weekends organizing Seattle CoderDojo to help create the next generation of developers. He's spoken previously at OSCON (2014) and CascadiaJS (2015 - well, will have spoken there by the time this presentation would happen).
