Good morning everyone and happy MonDEV ☕

first of all welcome back and happy new year! I hope this 2025 has started well! During the holidays I almost completely unplugged, between family celebrations, birthdays, and so on!

As always, after breaks there is a lot of material to catch up on and I can't wait to get started on everything!

But let's start with the news! As promised, MonDEV would be available in a new format since the resumption! So I am happy to tell you that starting from this week, the newsletter will also have a video version, to better showcase the various tools I will talk about from week to week!

Obviously the idea is always to be brief, so I chose to use youtube shorts to do it, with the promise of staying under three minutes (so I will have to learn to be concise, and that will be a nice challenge 🤣)!

I leave you here the link to the new youtube channel where you can already find this week's short! There is certainly a lot to work on, but it's a start anyway! Give me time and it will improve there too! 😄

But speaking of being concise, let's talk about this week's tool! Having closed the newsletter after the serverless-day, it seemed like a good idea to start from the serverless theme and from a tool that I had for a while!

Serverless-framework is a very interesting tool that allows you, on one hand through a dashboard and on the other hand, especially through a CLI, to create and run your Serverless applications effortlessly. The CLI allows you to create projects in Node and Python (although it is optimized for the former) and offers you various already working structures, from a simple single lambda to an entire express application with various sample functions. If you are just starting out in this world like me and want to have a boilerplate to start experimenting in a simple way, I think it's a good entry point!

You will first need to configure the dashboard and link it to the CLI. After that, after writing the code, you just need to run serverless dev in your terminal to start testing everything!

Today I have already gone on a bit, so I refer you to the video where I show the steps better and I hope you will find it interesting; any feedback is welcome, as I know there is definitely room for improvement!

Articles of the week

• Set Data on a Fluent Instance in Laravel 11.36 : this is just one of several articles on Fluent, a Laravel class that is being increasingly implemented and becoming more appealing. If you are not familiar with it, I think it's a nice gift for all those who think "PHP is nice, but if only it had dot notation it would be better." Take a look!
• Awesome falsehood the lists of articles and content are back; this time an interesting list of beliefs deeply rooted in the mentality of us developers but actually false! There are several fun ones, for example those about emails, which can be very interesting to delve into!

So we have come to the end of the first newsletter of 2025! We have new tools, articles, and even formats to explore! I also hope this year to be able to bring you stimulating tools and content that can be useful in your work or personal projects!

Happy 2025 and have a great start to the week!
