3 day course

Supporting material

Classroom, Virtual, Private

Classroom

Face to face, interactive classroom training run from our global training centres.

Virtual Classroom

A convenient and interactive learning experience, that enables you to attend on of our courses from the comfort of your own home or anywhere you can log on. We offer Virtual Classroom on selected live classroom courses where this will appear as an option under the location drop down if available. These can also be booked as Private Virtual Classrooms for exclusive business sessions.

Private

A private training session for your team. Groups can be of any size, at a location of your choice including our training centres.

As a trusted Google Cloud Partner, Jellyfish has been selected by Google to facilitate the delivery of this three day course.

Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, you’ll learn how to use Google Cloud Platform services and pre-trained machine learning APIs to build secure, scalable, and intelligent cloud-native applications.

Designed for application developers, on this course we’ll share best practices for application development and using Cloud Datastore and Google Cloud Storage.

This Developing Applications with Google Cloud Platform course is available at our training centre in The Shard, London and will be run over three consecutive days. We also offer private training at a location of your choice or via Virtual Classroom.

Course overview

Who should attend:

This course is intended for Application developers who want to build cloud-native applications or redesign existing applications that will run on Google Cloud Platform.

Walk away with the ability to:

Use best practices for application development
Choose the appropriate data storage option for application data
Implement federated identity management
Develop loosely coupled application components or microservices
Integrate application components and data sources
Debug, trace, and monitor applications
Perform repeatable deployments with containers and deployment services
Choose the appropriate application runtime environment; use Google Kubernetes Engine as a runtime environment and later switch to a no-ops solution with Google App Engine Flex

Prerequisites

To get the most benefit from this course you should have completed Google Cloud Platform Fundamentals or have equivalent experience.

It’s recommended that you have a working knowledge of Node.js. You will need a basic proficiency with command-line tools and Linux operating system environments.
