Developing Applications with Google Cloud Platform

In this course, application developers learn how to design, develop, and deploy applications that seamlessly integrate components from the Google Cloud ecosystem. Through a combination of presentations, demos, and hands-on labs, participants learn how to use GCP services and pre-trained machine learning APIs to build secure, scalable, and intelligent cloud-native applications.

Who should attend this course?

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

Prerequisites

To get the most of out of this course, participants should have:
