My GCP Essentials Course Scripts, Links and Examples

This repository contains sample code, links and scripts for working with Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services. Included technologies are for storage, database, big data and more. This repository is designed to be used in conjunction with these LinkedIn Learning courses:

LinkedIn Learning GCP Courses

GCP Tools

GCP Tools

• 📝 interactive list of every GCP Service in 4 words - link
• "GCP Microservices Demo" - link to runnable demo
• 📔 GCP Qwiklabs - link sandboxed environments and GCP labs
• 📘 GCP (gcloud) command quick ref - link
• 📘 For more info about advanced topics, see the links in the GCP-Essentials_Links.csv page in this Repo

Examples use the GPC scripting tools (gcloud, gsutil, bq...) and sometimes also the Python API with the GCP SDK. You can work with GCP services in many programming langauges, such as Java, Go, Node and others. See this link for the GCP SDK to see examples for other programming languages: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/

Open Source (FREE!) GCP Course

GCP for Bioinformatics Course

Additionally, I have created other repositories and courses on GCP topics for bioinformatics.

• GCP-for-Bioinformatics --> Open source course - for links, screencasts, jupyter notebooks or example workflows (Terra/WDL, Nextflow/NF, Galaxy Project...) for bioinformatics use cases, see this repository: https://github.com/lynnlangit/gcp-for-bioinformatics
