[TechTalks] The React Developer's Guide to OAuth2

This month we'll be featuring a talk by Riaz Virani (yes, me) about OAuth2.

The event will be in-person and hosted at the Super office (260 Queen St W, Toronto, ON M5V 1Z4). We'll have refreshments and great conversation to boot.

Topic: The React Developer's Guide to OAuth2

For many web developers, OAuth2 is almost to a curse word. We often implement it reluctantly for Single Sign On as required by some external application without fully understanding it. Luckily, it doesn't have to be that complicated! The presentation will focus on how React developers can effectively implement OAuth2 to handle user authentication and maintain security in their applications. Key topics include understanding the OAuth2 protocol, its flow, different grant types, token handling, and practical use cases. With a mix of theory and practical coding examples, this talk is a must-attend for any React developer looking to bolster their security knowledge and create more secure, user-friendly web applications.
