In software development, it is common knowledge that reinventing the wheel is bad or evil. For obvious reasons, if it is available online, why should we code from scratch, it will take time and effort. For any business, time is money.

However, reinventing the wheel is often necessary in order to work around software licensing incompatibilities or around technical limitations present in parts or modules provided by third parties.

As with everything, it`s about context: In this session, we will talk in more details about when to and when not to build our own custom library. We will also have a coding demo about how to use the Angular framework with NPM to build from start to finish, a simple library that can be used across multiple independent projects.

At the end of the session, attendees will understand the importance for an enterprise to build its own custom library and will be exposed to the process of developing a library using the following technologies; Angular framework, npm, node js, Typescript, HTML, Bitbucket and nexus repository.
