Hello again 👋 and welcome to this newsletter. We are pleased to present a short
recap of last quarter’s updates on IC Academy activities.


LET US RECAP

The past few months have been incredibly intense, that is why we have tried to
gather all the highlights from this period in this newsletter.


ARTICLES

In this section, we aim to provide you with a recap of the most recent articles,
just in case you missed them.

How to Implement a Blog-View Counter using Astro, Svelte on the Internet
Computer!
In this article a practical scenario is explored. Consider having a static
website hosted on the Internet Computer (IC), and you wish to implement a view
counter for each blog post.

In April 2024 we started with an exciting experiment aimed at finding a way to
measure the views of our blog entries. While using a central analytics software
is an option, we sought after a solution specific to the Internet Computer. Our
findings and the implementation process are detailed in our article: “How to
Implement a Blog-View Counter using Astro and Svelte on the Internet Computer!”

How We Celebrate the 3rd ICP Anniversary!
Three years have passed since the genesis event on May 10, 2021 which I watched
on TV from my living room. Today, as we mark this anniversary, I am not alone in
reflecting on the incredible journey it has been - also in my personal
development in this field of technology.

As the 3rd ICP anniversary approached, Dominic Williams wrote an article titled
“10 Reasons The Internet Computer Will Win. ” Dfinity launched a contest on X,
inviting the community to share how they celebrated this milestone. In response,
we created a comprehensive certification process for the article. Partnering
with VERIABLE , we developed a multiple-choice certification to mark this
special occasion

Read the article and test your knowledge about the Internet Computer.

Certification: B3Yond The Blockchain: ICP Third Anniversary
This certification celebrates the third anniversary of the Internet Computer and
is inspired by the influential article “10 Reasons The Internet Computer Will
Win” authored by Dominic Williams.
May 2024, what a Journey!
In May 2024 we embarked on an inspiring journey centred around the Internet
Computer. I am very happy to summarise and share this experience with you.

In May we received an X tweet from Dfinity telling us that we are in the top 3
in the competition and won a prize. We are extremely happy 🎉.

In May 2024, the 2nd ICP Community Conference took place, providing us the
opportunity to showcase our work in a concise 1-minute video clip. May 2024 was
a particularly eventful month, as we also had the chance to attend the ICP Hub
Indonesia meetup in Bali and later the ICP 3rd Anniversary celebration in
Zurich.

Demystifying Cycles Wallet on the Internet Computer
In this article, I will take a closer look at the cycles wallet and present two
methods I use to create canisters on the Internet Computer.

In June 2024 the Open Internet Summer (OIS) began, giving me the opportunity to
deepen my understanding of the Internet Computer and explore various topics. One
area I have been looking into recently is cycles which have become a significant
focus of this event.

As a preview of an upcoming article and as part of my work for the OIS, I have
developed two frontend integrations for the Internet Identity: One with Svelte
and another with SolidJS. Stay tuned for a detailed article on the SolidJS and
the Internet Identity integration coming soon.

Another exciting announcement is a new initiative stemming from the OIS. One of
the OIS rules is to post daily updates on your findings. This prompted us to
create a new section for YouTube playlists on our website: YouTube Playlists .
The first playlist is featuring my daily OIS updates. More will be added later
this year.

One of my goals in OIS has been - and still is - to create an example of
Verifiable Credentials on the Internet Computer using Motoko. Currently, this is
only feasible for Rust, Dfinity engineers are working on a Motoko integration.

See this blog post for more information: forum.dfinity.org

In the meantime, I will focus on developing a classic Web2 use case for the
Internet Identity. This involves creating a user registration system where users
can store their personal information linked to their Internet Identity.

Do you know that we already have a great quiz on the Internet Identity? Study
the references and check out the quiz:

MASTER INTERNET IDENTITY BASICS
To access and engage with applications on the Internet Computer, users
frequently need to authenticate themselves. A prevalent method for
authentication on the Internet Computer is through Internet Identity.
