Nice Overview of what OAuth is and how it works. (jusarg.com)

Wow, that really was an overview. Like a rocky planet transiting a blue giant star.


Does not explain anything technical. Pointless.


It is a high-level overview of what OAuth is since I never found a decent 'What is OAuth' type post when I was first learning OAuth.

Its not meant to be a coding tutorial (although I might make one, I also included a link to one within my post).
