Board games come into this category, in this article, I am going to use Java Swing to build a simple board game involved with board, layout and pieces, etc, which can serve as the entry level game programming that certainly paves the way to more advanced stages of game programming.

By leveraging the API manager, the api services are free from the burdens of some non-business logic such as scalability, security and analytics. More info: http://wso2.com/api-management/try-it/ On the flip side, spring security oauth2 lies in the client side of APIs service, api consumers can naturally build the client based on spring security oauth2 library in that wso2 api manger follows the principles of OAuth2 to secure all API calls. More info:  http://projects.spring.io/spring-security-oauth/ In this article, I will demonstrate the basic steps to bridge a client based on spring-security-oauth2 to the api server side that's governed by the wso2 api manager. Moreover, there is a small trick to ensure the connection in-between really working. Prerequisite ...
