Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

Quickly understand how OAuth2, OpenID, and SAML work as open standards for app security. You will never struggle again with these definitions!

What?

You can learn how app security is built into web and mobile applications with these standards in less than an hour without having to code. Trust me, I have written the code for so many variations of these standards that I've lost count.

Learning how they work can equip you to make the best long-term decisions for your products.

Why?

  1. Nearly all applications require authentication.
  2. Understanding app security is good for job security if you work in a tech team.
  3. Companies and cloud providers, including Google, Microsoft, and Twitter use OAuth2 to secure their APIs worldwide.
  4. Understand the mechanisms behind 'Continue with Google' and 'Login with Facebook for your app.
  5. Europe and the USA use them for their open banking APIs.
