A great short film (just under nine minutes) from Pixar:

Purl, directed by Kristen Lester and produced by Gillian Libbert-Duncan, features an earnest ball of yarn named Purl who gets a job in a fast-paced, high energy, bro-tastic start-up.

Regular expressions are incredibly powerful, but can also be extremely confusing and hard to use. This free online tool is, by far, the best thing I’ve ever found to build, refine, debug, and understand them. It will even help you generate code to use them in various languages.
