Monthly JSter #5: News of July 2013
Even July was a busy month for JS people. You guys are never gonna give up, huh? Anyway, let's proceed with our monthly listing of important and not so important happenings.
To celebrate the Summer we updated the outlook of the site. Let us know what you think!
Remember that Monthly JSter is available as a newsletter. And when we say monthly, we mean it. One post a month, that's it. Given the content in this post, we might turn it into a biweekly thing, though.
