Issue #167 (JS Utilities, Testing, Deploy/Build)09/29/16
| Support this week's primary sponsor: |
Hey, everyone! As many of you know, I often include quick DOM and JavaScript coding tips in the introduction for this newsletter. I try to do it each week, but things don't always work out. In the past, I compiled previous tips into an e-book for easy reading. And I'll do that in the future too, when I have enough new tips.
But this week I wanted to extend an offer to those of you who have released books, courses, or other resources that you'd like to promote. All you have to do is write a front-end coding tip in about 200-250 words that I can include in this intro. It could even be an excerpt from one of your books or courses. At the beginning and end of the tip, I'll include a link to your book/course (or whatever it is, it could even be a tool you want to advertise).
If you want to see an example of a previous guest tip, see this issue in the archives. And it should be something that hasn't been specifically covered before in this newsletter.
So if you'd like to give it a shot, reply to this email or contact me via my website. I can't guarantee that I'll include every submission, but I'll do my best to make it work for you.
Now on to this week's tools!

Errorception
"Find JavaScript errors you aren't even aware of. Your users aren't going to report errors. Errorception is a great way to find those errors."

UserTesting
"Usability testing has never been easier. Get videos of real people speaking their thoughts as they use websites, mobile apps, prototypes and more."
