# About the presentation
----------

OpenAPI has been gaining popularity in companies from startups to IT conglomerates. Previously known as Swagger, OpenAPI provides developers a way to write standardized, programming language-agnostic interface descriptions for HTTP APIs.

In a world where APIs are more prevalent than ever, why are we obscuring their interfaces behind backend servers? By utilizing OpenAPI in your development you get for free: code-generated client libraries and API server stubs, API documentation, and code-generated test suites just to name a few benefits!

So come on down to a presentation where we will go over:

1. Getting started with OpenAPI in any size project
2. Exploring use-cases for integrating OpenAPI into your development cycle
3. A live demonstration using OpenAPI-Generator for building client libraries and API servers
4. An overview of the OpenAPI community and other useful tools

The presentation will start at 7:00 PM, so feel free to show up early to meet the others. If there is interest afterwards, we can extend the evening at a local bar (in Downtown Tampa?).

Attendees are welcome to bring personal computers to follow along with the live demo.

Please be courteous and make sure to RSVP as we will have limited food and seating.
