TPDP015: Authorizing Access with OAuth

The Polyglot Developer Podcast

In this episode I am joined by Ryan Chenkie, Developer Advocate at the internet safety company, Auth0. Ryan and I discuss OAuth and how it can be used for authorizing third-party access to your data. If you've been keeping up, you'll remember that I wrote the very popular ng-cordova-oauth and ng2-cordova-oauth libraries for Ionic Framework that allowed mobile applications to work with OAuth providers like Google and Facebook. There are a lot of common questions around the protocol such as storing tokens, refreshing tokens, and implementing OAuth logic within code. The goal in this episode is to clear up the common questions and give everyone a better understanding on how OAuth works as well as the best practicies.
