Little Bobby Tables as a Service
================================

[](#little-bobby-tables-as-a-service)

Little Bobby Tables as a Service (LBTaaS) was created as an example of `composer create-project`for my [Composer presentation](http://www.slideshare.net/jeremykendall/game-changing-dependency-managment)given at [TechCamp Memphis](http://techcampmemphis.com/) on Nov 2, 2013.

Official xkcd JSON Interface
----------------------------

[](#official-xkcd-json-interface)

Unbeknownst to me, there is an actual, no kidding, in production JSON interface for xkcd. From the xkcd [About page](http://xkcd.com/about/):

> **Is there an interface for automated systems to access comics and metadata?**
>
> Yes. You can get comics through the JSON interface, at URLs like  (current comic) and  (comic #614).

So the "real" LBTaaS would be , wouldn't it?
