Lots of learning

Wow! Soooo long since my last blog post. Since then I have been 'hiding in my cave' doing lots of learning. I am proud of all the things I had to learn to publish the latest GSuite Add-on: Automagical Forms.

Here is a non-exhaustive list of things I was learning (enough to get things to work, don't ask me to explain why they work ;) while not blogging since October:

• Node.js
• Google Cloud Platform
  • Cloud Functions
  • Cloud APIs
• AWS
  • S3 APIs
  • Lamda
  • DynamoDB
• Encryption
• Hashing
• All about PDFs
  • looking at PDF binary, decoding, encoding, way too much PDF stuff
• Machine Learning
  • Training Models
  • Testing AWS vs GCP platforms for modeling
• Artificial Intelligence (who knew that all those Graph Theory classes I took in Graduate School would have an application one day!)
• GSuite Add-on
  • Card UI (all that HTML I learned for UI in my Add-ons is no longer valid :( )
  • New APIs and code flows
  • Manifests
• Typescript
• Functional programming
• Why some ES6 code won't work in Google Apps Script
• New GSuite Marketplace publishing process
• Developing for GDPR, FERPA, COPPA, and HIPPA compliance

I plan on blogging about the GSuite Marketplace publishing process and hopefully some of the other topics in depth, but I have a few other Add-ons to put the finishing touches and get them out publicly in the coming week(s).
