What about Google Classroom?
● Originally announced May 2014
● LMS integrated with G Suite (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.)
● Helps teachers manage coursework, create classes, distribute
assignments, grade & send feedback, manage students &
guardians, manage discussion forums, give & grade quizzes
● Suitable for higher ed; more likely to be used in K-12
○ Higher ed generally already using dedicated LMS
● Resources
○ edu.google.com/products/classroom
○ blog.google/outreach-initiatives/education/previewing-new-classroom
○ developers.google.com/classroom

What about Google Course Kit?
● Originally announced Jul 2018
● More suitable in higher ed due to dedicated LMS
● Integrate your LMS with G Suite (Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, etc.)
○ Blackboard, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai supported
○ Integrate w/your LMS at no cost
○ Compliant with Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) standard
● Create assignments & manage coursework from within your LMS
● Built-in grading tool; manage feedback in one central place
● Resources

Run your code on
Google Cloud serverless

G Suite: Google Apps Script , Google App Maker
Serverless: what & why
● What is serverless?
○ Misnomer: of course there's a server somewhere
○ You just don't have to worry about it!
○ Forbes (May 2018): Serverless... [helps] developers focus on writing code without having to
worry about infrastructure... servers (physical & virtual) completely abstracted away from the
user. [Developers] ... focused on solving business problems (e.g., faster app deployment)
● Why serverless?
○ Fastest growing segment of cloud... per 2 analysts*:
■ $1.9B (2016) and $4.25B (2018) ⇒ $7.7B (2021) and $14.93B (2023)
○ Unless focused on DevOps... VMs, networking, load balancing, web servers,
database servers, frontends/proxies, etc. less relevant for app-builders
○ What if you go viral? Autoscaling: your new best friend
○ What if you don't? Code not running? You're not paying. (No VMs to shutdown.)

Google App Engine
App-hosting in the cloud

Why does App Engine exist?
Hello World (3 files)
app.yaml
runtime: python37
main.py
from flask import Flask
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')
def hello():
return 'Hello World!'
requirements.txt
Flask==1.0.2
Deploy:
$ gcloud app deploy
Access globally:
https://APP_ID.appspot.com

Popular App Engine Use Cases
● Mobile/Tablet
○ App backends
○ Cloud persistence
● Social/Mobile Games
○ Speed, scale
○ API integrations
○ Personals/dating
● Consumer Web Apps
○ Unpredictable traffic
○ Scale
● Apps in Academia
○ Any course where students
build web or mobile apps
○ Research projects
○ IT/Operational apps
● Business Apps
○ Enterprise
○ Java runtime
○ Web or Mobile
Google Cloud Functions
Function-hosting in the cloud

Google Cloud Functions
Languages Supported
● Node.js 6, 8 (JavaScript)
● Python 3.7
● Go 1.11
Deploying Cloud Functions
● Create locally then deploy on cmd-line OR
● Edit and deploy from developer web console
Triggering Cloud Functions (response to events)
● HTTP — via HTTP request
● Cloud Storage — bucket object/metadata CRUD
● Cloud Pub/Sub — new message
● Firebase (DB, Storage, Analytics, Auth)
To create a function
Create function code locally then deploy on cmd-line
OR
1. Open GCP developer console @ console.cloud.google.com
2. Select a project (or create new one)
3. Choose Cloud Functions, then Create Function
4. Pick name, memory, trigger type, language, etc.
5. Write code in browser then click to deploy (and test)

"Hello World" Python (nearly-)MVP Cloud Function
main.py
def hello_world(request):
return 'Hello %s!' % request.args['value']
if hasattr(request, 'args') else 'World!'
Deploy:
$ gcloud functions deploy hello --runtime python37 --trigger-http
Access globally (curl):
curl -X POST https://[GCP_REGION]-[PROJECT_ID].cloudfunctions.net/hello
-H "Content-Type:application/json" --data '{"value": "Guido"}'
Access globally (browser):
https://[GCP_REGION]-[PROJECT_ID].cloudfunctions.net/hello?value=Guido
Google Apps Script (and App Maker)
Customized JS runtime for G Suite automation, extension, and integration

Sheets-bound “Hello World!”
Apps Script intro
goo.gl/1sXeuD
Sheets-bound “Hello World!”

What can you do with this?
Accessing maps from
spreadsheets?!?
goo.gl/oAzBN9
This… with help from Google Maps & Gmail
function sendMap() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
var address = sheet.getRange("A2").getValue();
var map = Maps.newStaticMap().addMarker(address);
GmailApp.sendEmail('friend@example.com', 'Map',
'See below.', {attachments:[map]});
}
JS

● Low-code assistive development
environment; Cloud SQL default
● Go from idea to app in minutes
● Drag-n-drop app building
● Many pre-made template apps
● Generates Apps Script code
● Requires at least G Suite Business
Google App Maker

Session Summary
● Why go cloud?
○ Cloud computing has taken the world by storm
○ You're behind if you're not already using it… it's not too late!
○ Help train the next generation cloud-ready workforce!
● Google Cloud and why serverless?
○ Many features: compute, storage, AI/ML, NW, data processing, etc.
○ Serverless lets users focus on just their logic (apps or functions)
○ Interesting possibilities using both platforms (GCP + G Suite)
