Put Your App Deployments on Autopilot with GitHub Actions
Building your app masterpiece already takes enough time, but a good C/CD system can greatly improve your development workflow. Regardless of your experience level, GitHub Actions is your secret weapon to make your app takeoff. Let Actions handle all the build, signing, and deployment steps so you can focus on your code.
While this session uses a Flutter app as an example, the concepts and steps apply to all Android and iOS apps. Specifically, we'll cover
- Basics of GitHub Actions
- Optimizing your codebase for CI/CD systems
- Generating a signed build of your app
- Automating store upload and private releases of your app
I presented this as one part of a larger session at a local meetup (https://youtu.be/DhWlhnRr20c) then turned it into a Medium post (https://medium.com/@jay.whitsitt/github-actions-and-flutter-3ace9924b45).
Unlock the Power of Generative AI in Your Applications with Gemini
Need content for your app? Looking to make your app a little more dynamic? Does your app need a little extra spark? Generative AI has been a big buzzword, but it’s now easier than ever to integrate purpose-built machine learning into your applications.
Vertex AI is Google’s platform for building applications with either pre-built models, like Gemini or PaLM, or custom machine learning models. It encapsulates the entire workflow, from simple generative AI to more complex training, deployment, and refinement of custom models. Whether you’re new to software development or experienced with AI and ML, Vertex AI can help simply the process for you.
This session will cover:
- A brief overview of Vertex AI Studio in the Google Cloud Console
- Testing different prompts and parameters for your application using the Gemini Pro model
- Integrating the Vertex AI SDK into a Node.js backend for use by your frontend app
The sample app for this talk is at https://github.com/cjwhitsitt/aiopoly-functions.
I've also written a Medium post about the basics: https://medium.com/p/3117a64fbd5e
