Remember that little phishing issue that Twitter experienced last week? Well, since then, there’s been a lot of talk about using OAuth to allow application access rather than usernames and passwords. Bloggers including Louis Gray and Don Park have suggested that Twitter implement OAuth, and there’s been more discussions on Chris Messina’s blog as well.
Well, if you’re wondering what OAuth is, how it will work for you, and how to implement it into a Rails application, register for Acts as Conference 2009 and listen to Tim Rosenblatt tell you all about it with: OAuth and APIs: Sharing your data without leaving your zipper down.
Tim is the Agile Development Director at Cloudspace, an Orlando-based web apps shop. He’s been coding for nearly a decade, but unless you’re *really* into Firefox Extensions or Twitter, you’ve probably never heard of him. When he’s not writing code for fun and profit, he spends time with his wonderful girlfriend, and aspires to awesomeness on the drums.
Tim is part of the awesome lineup you can see at Acts as Conference 2009, February 6th and 7th, in Orlando, Florida. $125 gets you in to food, fun, networking and learning. We’ll see you there.
A big thanks to our platinum sponsors Engine Yard and New Relic for helping make Acts as Conference 2009 possible.
