Parse / Stripe API Tutorial Request

I'd like to request if in the near future TreeHouse can create a tutorial on how to integrate the Stripe API on to your application using Parse. I'd like to learn about how to set up OAuth and how the communication layers are set up for monetary transactions.

I'm sure a lot of other developers who are not familiar with Cloud Code, Javascript will find it very helpful.

Thanks.

Hi Sean,

Parse have an entire section dedicated to using the Stripe API using the built in module. http://parse.com/docs/js/symbols/Stripe.html

They also have reference links to the Stripe API which explains the data options required for each request apart from the setup call which can simply be called by executing the following.

var Stripe = require('stripe');
Stripe.initialize('your_stripe_secret_key_here');

I understand it may be a bit hard to understand at first but I went through the docs and they are explained well along side Stripes API reference documents.

Chris, I don't know any JS or web language. Do you recommend I take the JS course offered on TH? Will that give me the foundation to implement this?
