This week’s Lean BYTES will be presented by Scott Sauber on “JWT Fundamentals.” JSON Web Tokens are all the rage these days, but why? What are they? How do they work?

Note: we won’t be covering OAuth flows in this Lean BYTES… that will be covered in a future Lean BYTES.

Lean BYTES is a short, 16-minute (get it? two bytes equal 16 bits... #nerdjokes), presentation designed to provide you with the tools you need to take your teams to the next level in an easily consumable, shareable format.
