Upcoming Series on OpenId
I just realized that for a tech-oriented blog, there isn't really a whole lot of tech-oriented entries. So, in an effort to rectify this issue, and to get some readers interested in this place, I've decided to create a series of articles that deal directly with OpenId.
Why OpenId? Well, it seems like an interesting technology that I think more people, especially my fellow developers, should know about and, hopefully, want to know about. So, in the coming weeks, expect to see some thorough content on the subject that covers the following concerns:
- What is OpenId?
- Why is OpenId?
- What are its benefits?
- How can I use it with my site / software?
- How can I implement this solution using PHP?
The first article will deal mainly with the first 4 in the list while all subsequent articles will cover how to implement this authentication solution using PHP.
Stay tuned! I know I will.
Looks like a really interesting idea that could really save everyone time on the web if it was widely adopted.
Are you going to go for one of the ten $5,000 bounty prizes and implement it into MyTopix? The crazy fools have listed PHPBB as a project they'd like to see implementing it, so it's not just huge projects that can go for the cash ;)
