Processing images with sharp in Node.js
by Pascal Akunnehttps://blog.logrocket.com/processing-images-sharp-node-js/
Whenever images are to be processed in a NodeJS application, one is well advised to use the Sharp library. Pascal introduces the most important functions in his article.

JavaScript Currying: A Practical Example
by Karthick Ragavendranhttps://javascript.plainenglish.io/javascript-currying-practical-example-512cf1099e81
In mathematics and computer science, currying is the technique of converting a function that takes multiple arguments into a sequence of functions, each of which takes a single argument … a better description than Karthick’s introduction I could not think of either
How to Use the Call, Apply, and Bind Functions in JavaScript
by Keyur Paralkarhttps://www.freecodecamp.org/news/understand-call-apply-and-bind-in-javascript-with-examples/
Call, Apply and Bind are not so common in daily JavaScript development, but they are useful tools because they can be used to change the execution context, as Keyur shows us.
How JavaScript's Proxy Object Works
by Keyur Paralkarhttps://www.freecodecamp.org/news/javascript-proxy-object/
Again Keyur. In this post he goes into detail about the proxy object, helps you create another object on behalf of the original object, to get more control over the interaction with the original object
