ABOUT THIS COURSE

Open authorization (OAuth) is an open standard for authorization that enables apps to provide client applications with secure delegated access. It works over HTTPS and uses access tokens rather than user credentials. It allows sharing resources stored on one site with another with limited, strictly delimited client-side control. This course provides information about OAuth 2.0, its components, and its workflows. We will learn how to build an application demonstrating Google sign-in integration. Lastly, this course will provide recommendations and resources for further exploration of the OAuth 2.0.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
