By the time you get this issue, I'll have finished a bit of a summer vacation, so I don't have a specific code tip to share this week. Instead, I'll direct you to a great article by a Google engineer named Surma:
If you love to nerd out on solving really specific regular expression problems, this is perfect for you. The author does a great job of discussing each step towards the end goal, and along the way describing a number of different RegExp features that you may not have used before, particularly if you're new to regular expressions.
And if that's not enough RegExp geekery for you, you can check out the Twitter thread the author started when linking to the article. There's lots more examples and discussion on different ways to approach that particular problem. Although a few people were being jerks about it (on the internet?? Shocking!), I'm sure you can look past that and learn a few things from the thread.
Now on to this week's tools!
