Issue #179 (New e-book, CSS & Sass, Testing, Uncats)12/22/16
The intro tutorial will be on hiatus until January, and I'm also in the process of finalizing a redesign of this newsletter, which is just about ready and will be launched in January. In the meantime, I've got a brand new e-book offer.
As I've done in the past, I've compiled 70 JavaScript and DOM tips that have appeared in this newsletter into e-book format for those interested in getting all the content in one easy-to-read format for mobile. Once again, the package is $5 and it includes EPUB, MOBI, and PDF formats.
Below you'll find the link to get more info, and a direct link to buy:
As before, all of these tips appear in issues of this newsletter, and they'll all eventually be available for free in the Web Tools Weekly archives. But if you want them in a single offline readable format, then the e-book purchase is the way to go.
It's been a fun year to collect and share the latest and greatest in tools with you, and I plan to continue doing this indefinitely, with your support. A big thanks to all those who purchased the first volume, and thanks in advance to those who purchase the new one!
Now on to this week's tools!
