Ask HN: How to understand Authorization on Web and Mobile Apps?

1 pointsby firatcanover 3 years ago
Hey everyone,<p>My name is Firat, and I just start leading a really technical (an Authorization API, simply Stripe for Authorization)<p>And I don&#x27;t have really technical background. I&#x27;m trying to talk as many technical person as possible, and understand the problem.<p>But still I feel incompetent sometimes, so what would be the single best advice you&#x27;d give to me? (As a person who are discovering the problem space and understand Authorizations in web and mobile applications)

i would pay for some platform with a ton of auth material -- i actually love linkedin learning. i think you can get a free 7-day trial -- even that will be useful if that is all you can afford.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;learning&#x2F;search?keywords=authentication" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;learning&#x2F;search?keywords=authentica...</a><p>i&#x27;m occasionally interested to re&#x2F;learn something and will jump on there to do it.<p>e.g. i finally got introduced in a real way to spark&#x2F;pyspark&#x2F;jupyter&#x2F;etc. over the past couple of days thanks to various courses on there.<p>if it&#x27;s easy you can just slam thru the videos with the speed feature, or i use the &#x27;video speed controller&#x27; chrome addon.<p>for your case, i would also start building a &#x27;hello, world&#x27; app and walk thru various authorization scenarios -- build them out. you _can_ learn this stuff without building something, but will be much more difficult.<p>i would do courses or videos (one video from a course) on the following topics to start:<p><pre><code> - http - curl - chrome developer tools - postman&#x2F;curl&#x2F;wget&#x2F;vscode rest client extension - authentication and authorization - api authentication - spa authentication (single page app) </code></pre> ps i think you left a word off the end of your second sentence.
