## Read the Tutorial first

You could still use most of the features in **FastAPI** with the knowledge from the main [Tutorial - User Guide](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

And the next sections assume you already read it, and assume that you know those main ideas.

## External Courses

Puedes continuar usando la mayoría de las características de **FastAPI** con el conocimiento del [Tutorial - Guía de Usuario](../tutorial/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank} principal.

But Facebook login doesn't support OpenID Connect. It has its own flavor of OAuth2.

### OpenID (not "OpenID Connect")

There was also an "OpenID" specification. That tried to solve the same thing as **OpenID Connect**, but was not based on OAuth2.

So, it was a complete additional system.

It is not very popular or used nowadays.

## OpenAPI

    And it's possible that for your use case, the solution is in one of them.

## Read the Tutorial first

The next sections assume you already read the main [Tutorial - User Guide: Security](../../tutorial/security/index.md){.internal-link target=_blank}.

## Advanced User Guide

There is also an **Advanced User Guide** that you can read later after this **Tutorial - User guide**.

The **Advanced User Guide**, builds on this, uses the same concepts, and teaches you some extra features.

But you should first read the **Tutorial - User Guide** (what you are reading right now).

## `fastapi-slim`

If you don't want the extra standard optional dependencies, install `fastapi-slim` instead.

When you install with:

```bash
pip install fastapi
```

...it includes the same code and dependencies as:

```bash
pip install "fastapi-slim[standard]"
```

The standard extra dependencies are the ones mentioned above.

## License

This will be especially useful when you use it in a **large code base** where you use **the same dependencies** over and over again in **many *path operations***.

## To `async` or not to `async`

As dependencies will also be called by **FastAPI** (the same as your *path operation functions*), the same rules apply while defining your functions.
