Ignite Orlando

Last night, we had Ignite Orlando. For those of you who don’t know, an Ignite event consists of presentations, 20 slides, 15 seconds per slide = 5 minute presentations.

I re-presented some of my AAC09 Oauth talk. It was a lot of fun — the presentation format is cool. Everyone seemed to dig the presentation, the XKCD rip off, and the picture of Angelina Jolie 😀 (You’ll have to see one of my presentations to find out.)

Adam Wiggall was on hand taking pictures, here’s the links:

Hey kids! Guess who’s presenting at Acts as Conference, 2009! These guys! Also, some guy with a big nose.

I’m giving a talk on OAuth, the greatest way to protect your APIs while keeping your users secure. Simple, easy, fun, and it might even get you laid. The amazing, spectacular, splendiforous OAuth! Yea. It’s gonna be that good.
