Historic Newfoundland and Labrador

    Cover

    Years ago a friend of mine give me a book on history of Newfoundland and Labrador, with the title ‘Historic Newfoundland and Labrador’. This book was published by the Tourism Branch of the Department of Development.

    Checking for Lint in your CloudFormation Templates

    If you are like me, you want your templates to pass muster and therefore usually pass them through some type of verification tool beyond the human eye, which is a poor verification tool by the way. Especially without caffiene.
