I’ve talked about BrowserID here before, and today i come to share some good news.
A few weeks ago, Ben Adida (https://twitter.com/#!/Benade , http://benlog.com/) became a Mozilla tech lead on identity and user data.
But who is this guy?
Well, i did not know yet, but reading about your projects, i just noticed that BrowserID will be a great success.
Ben has published several projects, all based on authentication, and two of them are email authentication, as is the main idea of BrowserID.
I just saw a lecture by Douglas Crockford about what is out there in ECMA5.
Many say that the Crockford’s arrogant, but the guy knows a lot when it comes toJavaScript.
I respect the work of man, and how not to know him personally, do not share the majority opinion.
Well, as a professional Internet watched the whole video, and I advise you to do the same.
In my view, the lecture is an overview of the future of the Web
Very near future.
Hey guys! Who follow me on Twitter already know that the i changed the course a bit this week.
I receive a very nice proposal to be part of the development team of Terra and I accepted the challenge for several reasons.
The main motivation is certainly be able to work in one biggest portal such as Terra. Also, I always had this as a personal goal.
Another really cool stuff is that for the first time I’ll work in the same company (and same team) that Felipe Moura, which for those unaware, is my cousin.
We worked together on several other projects (TheWebMind, PHPDevBar, Botaoteca, among others), but at the same company, is the first time;)
I’m sure will be a great experience, and hopefully I can contribute a lot.
Mozilla is constantly developing really cool things, and today, browsing the Mozilla Hacks i saw a very interesting post about the BrowserID.
According to the project site, BrowserID provides users a more secure and easier to sign in sites that require some type of authentication.
For developers, BrowserID offers a few lines of code in a simple way to authenticate a user.
The goal is really that, it is simple and saf and without using password.
The current model that we are using to login into a site, it is usually through a login (username) and password.
With BrowserID you only need to confirm your e-mail.
This process is done using the Verified Email Protocol, which is basically a protocol that defines to user a way to “prove” to an site that he owns a particular email.
