EDITORâS NOTE
Write. Learn. Connect.
In recent weeks and months, the world has taken such a dramatic turn. And I have no doubt that, like many of us, you have a lot on your mind. I wanted to share a few simple things that I do to destress and refocus:
- Write. We all need to vent. Write for yourself first. Grab a notebook, open a Google doc, or record a video. Free up some of that space in your head, so you can focus on things you want (or need) to focus on.
- Learn. Parlez-vous francais? Learn something new, fun, and challenging. As you know, we have tons of great API tutorialsâwhether you want to [build a Nexmo (Now Vonage) Notifier with Nexmo Messages and Python]( [use JWT for authentication in a Golang application]( or [add video chat to your Preact PWA](.
- Connect. Get on [Slack]( pick up the phone, [video chat]( and connect with your friends, family, and colleagues. Take advantage of technology and reach out! Virtual happy hour, anyone?
We hope you find this monthâs tutorials useful. If thereâs a tutorial youâd like included in the future, let us know. Your feedback is always welcome! And donât forget about our [Developer Spotlight program](. We would love to share your learnings with our developer community.
Sending a special thanks and shout out to Developer Spotlight contributors, [Victor Steven]( and [Diana Rodriguez](

DEVELOPER SPOTLIGHT
Using JWT for Authentication in a Golang Application
A JSON Web Token (JWT) is a compact and self-contained way for securely transmitting information between parties as a JSON object, and they are commonly used by developers in their APIs.
In this tutorial, I will demonstrate the creation, use, and invalidation of a JWT with a simple RESTful API using Golang and the Nexmo Messages API.
