We’re back with another Job of the Week – but this time, we’re taking a step back to cover a concept we’ve skipped over in previous segments: OAuth2 authentication. Richard’s demonstrations often show simpler shortcuts to accessing data – but these shortcuts may not always be practical in real-world examples. Never fear!
