The Foundations of an Application Platform
Jonathan LeBlanc (10.Mar.2010 at 15:45)
Talk at ConFoo.ca Web Techno Conference (English - US)
Application platforms, such as the Yahoo! Application Platform (YAP), Facebook, or Myspace, have become a core foundation of social web infrastructures. When constructing a platform to run applications, numerous layers of security and technology need to work off of each other in order to generate a secure, versatile system.
This talk will cover the core technologies behind the creation of a platform to host 3rd party applications. We will explore open technologies such as OpenID and OAuth for user verification, OpenSocial for architecture implementations, and the use of front-end security implementations such as Caja. This will explore the benefits and exploits from each of the implementations and the importance of open source technologies.

A little jargon-heavy, even after asking who all had used OAuth before (very few.) Very code heavy with implementing features, but kind of useless when breezing through it and the audience doesn't know the API. At the end of the presentation, I got the impression I would be stepping into a world of pain if one of my clients asked for these social features.
