Issue #119 (CSS/HTML, Productivity, Testing)10/29/15
Just got back from CSS Dev Conf in Long Beach, California, and it was a really fun time (which also explains why this week's issue is one day late). Got to meet some people that I've worked or communicated with online for ages, but never in person – including Estelle Weyl (who I co-authored two editions of a book with – it's about time we met!), Chris Coyier, Dave Rupert, Philip Walton, Sara Soueidan, Jonathan Snook, James Steinbach, and lots more.
The slides for my talk "DOM Features You Didn't Know Existed", along with all the resources included, can be found on my website. Anyone who's been subscribed to Web Tools Weekly for some time should recognize most of what I discussed. Of course, how could anyone focus on my slides when the room was being invaded by a giant octopus?
Next week I'll be back with the usual code tip/tutorial in this intro but the tools are still here, and there are lots of good ones this week!
