Go Newsletter
Issue 41 — January 19, 2015
A LETTER FROM THE EDITORS

As Matt mentioned, change is in the air and the Go Newsletter now counts JavaScript Weekly and Postgres Weekly as sister newsletters at Cooper Press.

The main changes are a new layout, new site, and publication is weekly once again. Each future issue will be sent on Thursdays from Jan 22 onward, so we'll see you again soon :-)

- Peter Cooper and Matt Cottingham
