Icons are used in applications, websites, marketing materials, you name it. They communicate complex topics, create visual interest, punctuate topics, and draw user focus. One of the easiest things to do to ensure that icons are used correctly across applications is to create and share an icon typeface. These icons can then be added to documents on a computer as a font, or used in your stylesheet to display the icons online or in an application.

CanJS Debugging Tutorial
This tutorial walks through some of CanJS's most useful debugging features. If you are new to CanJS, and want to be impressed, you might checkout it's two most unique and powerful features first:
- Understand what happened with logStack - A change in one value results in a change in another value, which results in another value change. This relationship can be hard to understand and isn't visible in the stack. Fortunately, CanJS has a stack that lays out exactly why something changed.
- Understand what changes the DOM - If you inspect an element, CanJS can tell you all of the values that went into composing the element's values.

CanJS 5.0
Dear Web Developers,
The humble DoneJS core team enthusiastically presents CanJS 5.0. Like 4.0 before it, this release continues to simplify CanJS and solve problems in new and ergonomic ways. If you are unfamiliar with CanJS, the common web development problems it tackles are:
- Responding to user interactions and updating HTML with components (custom elements).
- Retrieving and modifying service data with models.
- Routing url changes to state changes and state changes to url changes with routing.
Driven by community feedback, CanJS 5.0 focused primarily on making CanJS easier to use and learn in modern development environments and improving the model layer. Yet, we still managed to improve components, routing and even testing with one new feature.

Best Practices for Working with SVGs
For the past several years I've been working with SVGs - a lot. Not surprising to myself, I quickly fell in love with them for all the reasons I love vector art. I have come up with several tricks to get lean, highly manageable SVGs that I want to share with you here.

How Bitovi Used StackStorm to Solve DevOps Automation for an Enterprise Client
- Alleviating some of the burdens of Site Reliability Engineers (SREs)
- Minimizing the risks of human error
- Ensuring proper communication and visibility around issues when they arose in a way that could scale efficiently as the infrastructure grows.
Let’s investigate these problems in-depth and see how DevOps automation with StackStorm helped SREs automate common tasks, minimize downtime, and sleep easier in a scalable, reliable, and fully customizable way.

In our first community survey, making it easier to configure and understand can-set was one of the top-voted items. We’re excited to deliver on that proposal in CanJS 5, which will include the following new modules that are easier to understand and configure:
