Our Publisher-In-Chief Peter Cooper sent his first email newsletter in 2010.

Since then our initial newsletter Ruby Weekly has surpassed 40,000 subscribers, and Cooperpress as a whole has grown considerably.

We now publish over ten unique publications serving the web and software development space.

Here’s a run through some of the main email newsletters that Cooper Press currently publish (as of October 2017):

Ruby Weekly: rubyweekly.com

Our first email newsletter, Ruby Weekly started it all during the summer of 2010.

Since then, the newsletter has grown to serve over 40,000 subscribers, becoming one of the most read Ruby and Rails-oriented publications.

JavaScript Weekly: javascriptweekly.com

Established in 2010, JavaScript Weekly was the second email newsletter we introduced. The newsletter appeals to developers with an interest in JavaScript and related technologies, such as Angular, React, and Node.js.

JavaScript Weekly shares the latest industry news, tutorials, demos and articles, reaching over 135,000 subscribers every week.

Frontend Focus: frontendfoc.us

Frontend Focus started life as HTML5 Weekly in 2011 but was renamed in 2016 to better reflect the content being shared.

A tweet sent after the first issue was sent in the summer of 2011.

The free, weekly email newsletter covers HTML, CSS, WebGL, and other associated technologies.

Now reaching over 70,000 subscribers, Frontend Focus shares news, articles, tutorials and code examples for those interested in web browser technology and the web platform generally.

Node Weekly: nodeweekly.com

Launched in 2013, Node Weekly focuses solely on the popular Node.js runtime environment.

The need for a publication devoted to Node.js came about due to the growing number of Node-related content we found ourselves sharing in JavaScript Weekly.

As a result, Node Weekly was created as a sister publication to cover the increasing interest in the open-source technology.

The newsletter now reaches over 30,000 subscribers each week.

DB Weekly: dbweekly.com

Our weekly database newsletter shares insight and updates on a wide range of database topics and tools, including SQL, Postgres, MongoDB, Redis and more.

Over 10,000 developers and managers subscribe to DB Weekly to stay up-to-date and to better inform their decisions.

Web Ops Weekly: webopsweekly.com

Web Ops Weekly launched in early 2015 and now reaches over 10,000 subscribers. The newsletter covers the process of getting web pages from servers to users, and everything in between.

The topic mix found in Web Ops Weekly is geared towards web developers with a significant interest in how their pages are deployed and served up to end users.

Golang Weekly: golangweekly.com

Go is an increasingly popular server-side programming language developed at Google.

Matthew Cottingham started the Go Newsletter in 2013, and in early 2015 the publication was acquired by us here at Cooperpress.

Announcing the acquisition.
Love for our newsletter from the source.

The newsletter has now grown to become the most popular amongst the growing Go community.

Mobile Dev Weekly: mobilewebweekly.co

Our mobile-facing weekly newsletter covering the convergence of the web, native apps, hybrid apps and the rise of progressive web apps.

Curated by Holly Schinsky, Brian Rinaldi and the Cooper Press team, the newsletter focuses on topics such as React Native, Ionic, jQuery Mobile, Cordova, Phonegap and more.

Postgres Weekly: postgresweekly.com

Postgres Weekly started life in 2013, delivering the latest news and updates on one of the most popular open-source relational database systems in the world.

The newsletter is curated by one of the foremost Postgres experts, Craig Kerstiens and published in-house by Cooperpress. The newsletter has now sent in excess of 150 issues, reaching over 10,000 subscribers each week.

React Status: react.statuscode.com

React Status launched in August of 2016, offering a roundup of the latest React and React Native links and tutorials. It now reaches over 12,000 subscribers each week.

Serverless Status: serverless.email

The latest addition to our newsletter line-up. Serverless Status is a weekly newsletter about serverless architectures and paradigms, function-as-a-service, AWS Lambda, etc.

The newsletter is curated by IBM Developer Advocate Raymond Camden.

Our aim here at Cooperpress is to become the authority in email newsletters for developers.

Across our current range of email-based publications, we currently deliver newsletters to the inboxes of over 380,000 software and web developers each week. We hope you find something in the list above which will be of value — if you do, be sure to subscribe.

Of course, if you think there is a niche that is crying out for a newsletter just like those we produce, then we’d love to read your suggestions.
