Lots of great tutorials this week as usual, but some of the most interesting items, in my opinion, this week ended up in the “etc.” section as they aren’t tutorials. I’m talking about the posts on the future of Node and jQuery in 2014 and a discussion of the PSD to HTML workflow by Nick […]

Lots of great stuff this week. Despite its age, SVG appears to be hot - this week’s update features three great posts all focused on SVG (and there’s been many more in recent weeks).
