After the first 2 days of workshops, NDC London continued with lots of great speakers and sessions. I was planning to share some information during the conference itself but due to technical difficulties I had to postpone it. For the next few days I will be sharing some of the great content.
Security was one of the hot topics at the conference. With sessions about Layered Security, OAuth, OWASP, Security of ASP.NET Web API, and so on… there was no excuse to follow at least one security related session.
One of the things that was shown to us by Dominick Baier was the new OAuth integration in the Visual Studio 2013 SPA template. The SPA template has been completely rewritten and uses OAuth with a bearer token and OWIN for authentication purposes.
Have a look at following blog posts to learn more about it:
