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.

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.
