This course breaks down the OAuth standard from the very basic principles, covering the terminology in an easy to digest fashion. It goes over step-by-step code examples to implement OAuth for several providers, so you get the repetition necessary to understand and implement OAuth on your own. After completing this course, you will have a fundamental understanding of the OAuth protocol, enabling you to implement OAuth for any provider using the web application framework of your choosing.
