Rob’s upcoming schedule

Platform Summit 2025

OAuth 2 is the gold standard for authentication in APIs and is currently being updated to version 2.1. In this talk we’ll dive into how it works and what’s different from OAuth 2.0. OAuth 2.1 consolidates and simplifies OAuth 2.0 along with bringing the best practices that have evolved since 2.0’s release into the main standard. I’ll discuss how the Authorization grant type has evolved with PKCE to make it the best for nearly all clients, and also cover the best practices to use today in order to secure your API. By the end of this session, you’ll be well prepared for the future of API security.

Domain Driven Design focuses on modelling the domain logic and helps us to map the business requirements to our software. We’ll discuss the terminology and take a look at what Domain Driven Design is and see how you use it to make software that meets the needs of its users. Most people seem to concentrate on the tactical patterns in DDD, but the strategic side is where the most benefit can be found. I will concentrate on the on these strategic considerations, particularly the importance of communication at all levels of the project so that by the end of this session you will be better positioned to create excellent, maintainable applications.
