(⌐⊙_⊙) Full Stack App Development & Machine Learning

Jumpstart your way to a full stack web or mobile app in AWS plus get an intro to one of today’s hottest tech topics, machine learning. Phil Merrell and Chao Tang from the Boise State Web Development team will present on two AWS features: Amplify and Sagemaker.

AWS Amplify is an opinionated framework for creating web and mobile applications using AWS services. Amplify aims to speed up development through UI components and a command line interface (CLI). The CLI makes it easy to quickly scaffold authentication, APIs, file storage, analytics, real-time messaging and much more. The Amplify UI libraries for iOS, Android and Javascript (including React, Angular and Vue), make it easy to integrate your backend using declarative interfaces and simple UI components.

Amazon SageMaker is a fully managed service that provides every developer and data scientist with the ability to build, train, and deploy machine learning (ML) models quickly.

Phil has been a mobile and web developer with Boise State since 2012 and has an interest in all things front-end and a recently rekindled interest in the backend development using serverless technologies with AWS.

Chao has been a web developer with Boise State for five years and does a variety of web application development.

They will demonstrate how you can use Amplify to quickly create a full-stack application with authentication, and a GraphQL API. From there they will show how Sagemaker can allow you to easily get started with machine learning.
