Cloud computing is used to power nearly every website on the Internet, as well as most mobile applications. In this class, students learn how to create interactive web applications using Google Cloud Platform and Firebase. These are the same tools used by professional software engineers! By the end of class, students will be able to host their own websites and web apps that will empower people across the world to interact with one another in real-time.

Understanding the basics of Cloud Computing is a crucial piece of your students' computer science education!

Cloud Computing for Web Apps 1
In Unit 1 of our cloud computer program, students create interactive web applications. As they build and host their own websites, they learn all about common cloud computing design patterns. They also conquer security basics to create websites protected by Google logins, and find out how to use access rules to control who can view and edit their websites.

Cloud Computing for Web Apps 2
In Unit 2, students explore real-time cloud applications, as well as virtual machines and cloud functions. These technologies will help students create more dynamic cloud applications such as chat applications, interactive games, email notifications, and Minecraft game servers.

Cloud Computing for Web Apps 3
The focus of Unit 3 in our cloud computing program is on multi-player. In addition to reinforcing what we have learned about Firebase, this more advanced lesson goes deeper into Cloud Function. Students will learn how to build two fun, real-time apps that allow multiple players to interact in real-time via the Firebase/Cloud Function backend.
