I like to build silly things just for fun

By day: CTO at Caspeco

We help restaurants focus on Guests & Food

Payroll for >2% of workers in Sweden

We analyze > 20 Billion SEK of beers, 🍸, sushi,🍕, etc

(Come work with me!)

How many of you are confused?

How many have heard of HTML & Javascript?

How many have heard the word "API"?

Today's plan

• Lego, Internet & Creativity

• Why is it important?

• Workshop <--- the fun part

Listen To The Clouds

Experiment

System 1

= www.listentothe.cloud

"Live streaming the world of traveling"

The result?

Back to the basics

What is a system?

System

1. A set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network; a complex whole.
2. A set of principles or procedures according to which something is done; an organized scheme or method.

(Oxford English Dictionary)

System 1

System 2

API

Allows you to get data and/or control a system

How to google for APIs:

"facebook api"

"spotify api"

"fitbit api"

"google maps api"

Caspeco's Analysis

Why is this important?

How many of you have had an idea?

<code /> is not changing the world

Understanding <code /> and the Internet is.

You don't have to make everything from scratch

Be able to take action.

Recap

• The Internet is like Lego

• 1+1 = 3 (Put pieces together)

• Use "API"s to connect pieces

• Build silly things!

Thank you!
