Style and Approach:

Hi everyone. I'm Cory House, and welcome to my course, Securing React Apps with Auth0. I'm the principal consultant at reactjsconsulting.com. Getting security right is hard. There's a dizzying amount of jargon and tradeoffs to consider. So in this course, we'll forge a clear path to successfully securing a React app by using Auth0, the world's most popular auth platform. Some of the major topics that we'll cover include modern security protocols like OAuth 2, OpenID Connect, and JWT tokens, login and signup, authorization approaches, security concerns for single-page apps, and techniques for securing API calls. By the end of this course, you'll be prepared to secure your own React app with rich rules for authentication and authorization. Before beginning the course, you should be generally familiar with modern JavaScript and React. I hope you'll join me on this journey to learn how to secure React apps with the Securing React Apps with Auth0 course, at Pluralsight.
