My calendar says this is May
My calendar says this is May 21st. Isn't this article about 10 days too early?
If you look at the articles
If you look at the articles in this series, we publish episodes in the 2nd half of each month. We do not have a set day. And we simply present interesting articles and tutorials we have found since our last episode. Nothing else. If we do it on the 1st of each month, 21st or any other date - the principle is the same. I don't think it matters that much. Do you?
Some nice links as usual. :)
