Have you heard of “clipboard inheritance” driven development? Yup, copy the code from one project, paste it into another. And yup… ouch!

My friend and co-worker Joseph Hart will share with us how to design and publish NPM packages to address this terrible thing! Come join us at the December’s Improving Code meetup, on Dec 4, at 6:30pm!

Designing and Publishing NPM Packages for Better Code Reusability

With over 1 million indexed packages and over 10 billion downloads a week, NPM is the most popular package manager in the world. But how many of our organizations make good use of private packages? In this Improving Code session, we’ll learn how to publish and maintain private NPM packages, look at ways to think more generically and see how we can refactor our JavaScript to extract more reusable modules out of our projects.
