Issue #45 (Sass, Mobile, Uncats)05/29/14
Very busy right now after returning from a vacation this month so there's no tutorial this week. I hope everyone enjoyed the guest tutorials over the past three issues. If you missed them or weren't subscribed yet, check them out in the archive.
Once again, my apologies for no extra content here in the intro, and for this week's issue being one day late. But hey, you're just here for the big fluffy tools lists, amirite?

Before I Go...
Finally, if you've previously seen Paul Irish's well-known "frontend feeds" list of RSS feeds for front-end developers, I've created my own version and put it up on GitHub. If you have any appropriate feeds to add to one of the categories, open an issue or submit a PR.
