🎓 Ippon Australia Tech Workshop Collection

What is this?

Tech workshops to further your understanding of real world software development work flow and architecture.

Why?

As a student of Computer Science I was constantly expanding my knowledge in areas including Discrete Math, Algorithms/Data structures, Complexity Theory, Networking protocols and all that other fun stuff! However, there was a lack of teaching real world concepts especially ones related to higher level design, systems integration, testing and how all these amazing pieces of technologies are stitched together to really create something valuable.

Structure

Each workshop will follow a similar structure including an introduction, steps through to complete the workshop, challenge and final solution/hints. It will be difficult and not all information will be given to you so some of this you need to figure out on your own! Some solutions and hints will be given as extras/solutions as below:

Send a new POST request using curl to test your login API and make sure it responds with the correct format.

Solution 

curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --request POST \
  --data '{"username":"admin","password":"admin"}' \
  http://localhost:3000/api/login

Prerequisites

  • Developer environment (IDE, Terminal, Admin privileges)
  • Knowledge of a one programming language (eg. Java, C#, JavaScript)
  • Website development knowledge including HTML, CSS and Networking/Internet theory
  • Credit/Debit card for Cloud sign ups! (Don't worry GCP won't charge you)
  • Git and GitHub understanding (git clone, navigating)
  • Run git clone or fork this repo for future use
  • An awesome attitude 💪

Workshops

1️⃣ Building an end-to-end website on the Cloud for free (almost!)

In this workshop you will be creating a personal blog hosted on Google Cloud Platform, you will be required to register your domain, configure DNS settings, upload files to GCP and manage hosting setup. This will be integrated with CircleCI for a CI/CD pipeline and automatic deployment. Finally you will be enabling a Cloudflare Content Delivery Network to accelerate your website and provide HTTPS.

✅ Get Started!

2️⃣ Setting up your JavaScript build environment and getting ready for production

In this workshop you will be modifying your previous website and optimising content for production using common JavaScript build tools, packagers and test tools. We will look at SEO optimisations, compression, headers and general config.

⏳ Coming Soon!

3️⃣ Securing your site, understanding security essentials, cookies, sessions and common attack vectors

In this workshop you will be adding more features to your website and hacking into it! Some parts of your website will be dynamic and need to be secured. We will be testing locally due the potential issues of actual hackers messing with your website! Once these are secured you can deploy to production.

⏳ Coming Soon!
