matplotlib ships with a variety of different plots. In this tutorial, you'll get to know line plots or line charts in more detail. You'll see how to create a simple line plot, how to adjust styling, and how to draw multiple lines in a single chart. {{outline}} Sample Data for …

JSON web tokens (JWT) are widely accepted on the Internet. You’ll find countless tutorials using JWT authentication. Most of them showing how to sign a JWT using an HMAC-based algorithm which is a quick way to get started. We both know that the copied code from a tutorial is …

matplotlib is a commonly used library to create high-quality plots in Python. matplotlib has vast capabilities, but also a steep learning curve. In this series, you'll be gently guided in small steps through matplotlib's functionality. In each tutorial, you'll be working with one plot and extending or refining it with …

With the release of Node.js v8, async functions became an integral component. Async functions provide a simpler API around promises by removing (most) of the callback-y code. The combination of async/await and promises is powerful, but you have to be careful not going too sequential. This tutorial shows …

All the previous JWT tutorials use a cryptographic signing to verify the token’s validity. Created tokens didn’t use any payload encryption. In case an attacker has access to a user’s JWT, they can seamlessly read the token payload. Verifying JWTs ensures that the requesting user sends a …

Async functions are part of Node.js since version 7.6. They received a boost in attention with the stable release of Node.js v8 because it’s one of the major new features. When using async functions in your projects, you may encounter situations where you want to serialize …

Starting out with JSON Web Token (JWT) is pretty straightforward. Typically, you’ll create a JWT with a secret key and verify it using the same secret. In cryptography, this is a symmetric signature. Most of the tutorials on the Internet use symmetric algorithms because it’s a simple way …

NPM has large ecosystem of JavaScript modules. During development, you may add dependencies to your project and may not need them anymore at a later point. Using the NPM CLI to install dependencies will add the module to your project dependencies by adding it to your package.json file. In …
