• Tasking • Chat (XMPP) Feature Themes walk the
walk Context • Air Force • Old: Thick Client • New: Single Page App • HTML5(ish) + Javascript • Java
Why call them modules? S2ll a lot of noise

Focus Drill into chat feature Focus
other effects • Conven2ons Within Features • Responsibility Viola2ons
Obvious • Ramp up • Small, Simple Interfeature Collabora2on “Ah consistency, the path to simplicity and the bane of innova6on. Choose wisely” ~ me, on twi<er
