Using the REST API with WordPress.com and Jetpack

In the past, to manage and control your WordPress data from other apps, you would have to use insecure username/password authentication and sometimes difficult to use XML-RPC APIs. Now you can use a JSON based REST API and authenticate using OAuth2. Supported by all WordPress.com and Jetpack (that means self-hosted!) powered blogs. This talk will talk about basics of the API (what it offers, what the future will hold, etc), how to get started (registering an application, getting a client id/secret, etc), and provide some examples of what you can do. Included is a Q&A & discussion about the future of the APIs.
