In this talk we'll cover different API authorization methods, and why OAuth (Open Authorization) has become so popular and the choice for user-level authorization. We'll take a look at the different types of OAuth (1 & 2), before diving in how to build an application that takes advantage of OAuth to authenticate to third-party APIs.
