Testimonials

This course is based on the bestselling book “OAuth 2.0: Getting Started in Web-API Security”. Before I tell you what is presented in the course, just read, what the audience thinks about the book.

Excellent review of the underlying components of OAuth, and the methods of deploying and using it. Love the sequence diagrams. The explanations of the differences between the pattern use cases is most helpful.
