Issue #85 (JS E-Book, Libraries, SVG Tools, Uncats)03/05/15
As many of you know, just about every week in this newsletter, in addition to the weekly list of categorized tools, I start with a brief tutorial or tip, usually something focused on JavaScript and the DOM.
After 80+ issues of Web Tools Weekly, I've amassed quite a bit of JavaScript- and DOM-focused content. All of that content is available for free in the Web Tools Weekly archives. However, for those who would like to read the info on a tablet or mobile device, I thought it would be useful to put it together in book form in PDF, EPUB, and MOBI formats. The tips in this book appear in the same order as they've appeared chronologically in the newsletter each week.
The book is produced through Leanpub, but I'm not promoting it for sale via that channel, but since Leanpub is pretty flexible, I'm selling it via Pulley, which is a super-simple and easy to use service for selling digital goods. The book is priced at $5. You can purchase it through Leanpub if you want, but that's not my preferred channel.
The book uses Leanpub's default settings for technical material, so it's very reader-friendly and the code highlighting is really nice.
Here are the links for the full description of the content and the direct purchase:
I'll continue to publish similar tips in the newsletter in the weeks ahead and in the future I hope to release more e-books based on the content of the newsletter.
Now on to this week's tools!

Before I Go...
If you haven't seen Pointer Pointer, then you're really missing out. As silly as it is, I'd love to read a post on how it was built, if such a post exists.
Thanks to all for subscribing and reading!
Keep tooling,
