Pre-Announcement of Thursday's meeting given that I haven't updated the
site yet: http://calagator.org/events/1250472936
Topic:
The OAuth 2.0 authorization framework has become the industry standard
in providing secure access to web APIs. OAuth allows users to grant
external applications access to their data, such as profile data,
photos, and email, without compromising security. However, OAuth can be
intimidating when first starting out. In this talk, Aaron Parecki will
break down the various OAuth workflows and provide a simplified overview
of the framework, highlighting a few typical use cases.
