Day 0 

Monday – 9:30 AM – Entering the Advanced Concepts workshop for Apigee Security and Application development. Crash course on Apigee topics with Alex Koo, Principal Architect, and Diego Zuluaga, Principal Architect at Apigee.

11:00 AM – Using Cloud9 (c9.io) we ar deploying proxies in a Node.js workspace. Having some OAuth configuration fun while working through the Github repository posted in apigee/apigee-platform-samples READMEs with Alex & Diego collaborating with attendees!

12:30 PM – To sum up session I of Advanced concepts, we created Node.js workspaces using c9 and configured the oauth-advanced sample proxy to register, then login, to allow/deny the request for an access token. Built an API proxy in Apigee Edge and implemented 3-legged OAuth 2.0 using Node.js
