JWTs - What PHP Developers Need to Know

The GPUG is excited to have Dan Moore in attendance this month to speak about JWTs!

What is a JSON Web Token (JWT) and why do you care? JWTs are a stateless, standardized way to represent user data.

This talk will discuss why JWTs matter and the nuts and bolts of JWTs. We’ll also discuss how you might use a JWT in your application and how to avoid certain common mistakes.

Dan (@mooreds) is head of developer relations for FusionAuth. He’s been using PHP off and on since the mid 2000s. A former CTO, engineering manager and longtime developer, he's been writing software for (checks watch) over 20 years.

As always, thanks to our sponsor JetBrains, we'll be raffling a 1 year subscription to any JetBrains IDE.
