Hello,
Welcome to issue #372!
Last week I announced my new side project, a book titled "Crafting Lambda Functions in Rust". You can probably guess what it is about! 😇 I am working on this project with the awesome James Eastham and we look forward to seeing how it will evolve! If you are curious, you can check out our website and if you want to support us you can already purchase the book in early access mode (with a 60% discount!) and support our efforts! I'd really appreciate it if you do that!
But now, without further ado, let's get into some full-stack news! This week we have lots of cool stuff in store for you! I enjoyed the first link, so if you have to be picky, just go for that one!
Have a great full-stack week!
