[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Integrate Kanban in Web Application

Kanban is an immensely popular way to schedule your activities. We'll take a look at implementing one.
Our Web Application supports multiple rendering modes, one of which is a Kanban mode. There's a number of things you can do when you are in Kanban mode, and all of it is functionality we wired (read: handcoded) into a Kanban component that we integrated. Essentially, we started off with integrating a Kanban component (and yes, we never try to reinvent the wheel!), and added all the necessary functionality we needed into it. In this course, we'll show you some of those.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Architect a Web Application

There's no one way to architect any application. With that said, some ways tend to work a tad better than others. In addition, the architecture of any application is bound to continually change as user base grows, as requirements change, as SLAs become tighter, as organizational structures change, and more.
So, while it is important to get the architecture right to begin with, what's even more important is to ensure that it is resilient to change, is extensible, is flexible and long story short, stands the test of time. In this course, we'll look at one such architecture.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Flutter App - Directory Structure

Some frameworks dictate the directory structure to a large extent (hint: Rails!) but there are plenty others that give you all the leeway to structure it the way it works best for you. Flutter is one of them.
While the flexibility is unquestionably desirable, it can (and does) act as a double edged sword. It is imperative that you get the structure "right" so it is intuitive to your team members as your team grows.
In this course, we'll look at a Production Flutter App (our own Snowpal app) and review the directory structure that we arrived at (after a few iterations).

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Vimeo + Canva - Add Edited Video to Showcase

If you create video content regularly, there's a good chance you host it somewhere (or happen to be looking for a good place to host them). At Snowpal, we use videos for a variety of purposes and one of them relates to Snowpal Education where we create and publish courses for purchase (such as this one).
We explored a few different ways to host these videos, and arrived at an approach that works best for us. In this course, we will go over that approach and walk you through OS X Final Cut Pro, Canva, Vimeo and DNSimple. We are confident that this will answer a few questions for you.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Flutter App - Class Hierarchy (with a working example)

Let's take a (fairly big) feature and understand what the class hierarchy looks like.
The Snowpal Project Management App supports a Checklists feature that allows you to create any number of checklists, where you can add one or more checklist items. It has a number of actions associated with it, and is a pretty good example to take to help explain the Widget Class hierarchy.
The idea, by the end of this course, is for you to have a good sense of what it takes to break a new feature requirement down into a class structure.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Update Apps to Use Latest Firebase Cloud Messaging APIs and SDKs

If you are using Google Firebase Cloud Messaging APIs and SDKs, you may have received an email recently asking you to update your apps to the latest versions of those APIs & SDKs.
Google gives you a window of time before which you need to do this but it's better to take care of things like this sooner than later.
There's at least 3 (maybe, 4) things you need to do, and in this course, we'll go over each of those steps with examples so it is easy enough for you to map it to your systems, and make the corresponding changes.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Implementing Web Services in Ruby

Let's take a quick look at implementing REST endpoints in Ruby. We'll go over routes, services, models and make some code changes to see how they take effect.
At the end of this 20-minute course, you should be able to start creating Web Services in Ruby. We'll pick one of the Ruby Frameworks we have a preference towards, but the learning should be agnostic to the framework.

At the end of this 20-minute course, you should be able to start creating Web Services in Go. We'll be using Gin Framework for implementing these endpoints.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Securing Microservices in an API Gateway

At Snowpal, we have several microservices, and while each of them serves a unique purpose, they do have a few things in common. Security, is one of them. Therefore, we have microservices that exclusively deal with Security, and we'll take a look at one of them.
At the end of this 20-ish minute course, the expectation is that you get a good sense of how a Microservices Security Architecture works.
Whether you are breaking a monolith into a set of microservices, or are building a brand new microservice, this course should help you understand how Security Integration could work in those contexts.

[Paid Course] Snowpal Education: Implement Mind Map Chart (Amcharts)

If you want to display hierarchical data as a series of bubbles that are linked, a Mind Map is one of the best ways to go about it.
amCharts offers a Force Directed Chart that is essentially a Mind Map, and in this course, we'll take a look at how one can implement it (using one of Snowpal's Charts as an example).
