Hello again 👋 and welcome to this newsletter. We are pleased to present our
monthly updates on IC Academy activities.


LET US RECAP

What an incredible month it has been! Let us take a moment to summarise all that
we have accomplished.


ARTICLES

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

⚡ VERCEL and the Internet Computer
This is an announcement for a new Code Lab ic-vercel-sveltekit-2 which I
recently published on Github. It is a SvelteKit application running on VERCEL
and interacting with the Internet Computer.

The month kicked off with a query on Discord. Someone requested to craft an
example demonstrating how to use VERCEL in combination with the Internet
Computer. It has surprised me to discover that the frontend application could be
hosted on an edge platform, and this frontend could interact with a smart
contract on the Internet Computer via server-side rendering (SSR). It is a
really cool use case that you should definitely explore. It is an excellent
illustration of blending Web2 and Web3 technologies.

The application is operational. Feel free to calculate your Body Mass Index
(BMI) if you are up for it 😅. Demo application !

⚡ How to Work with Result Types
In this codeLab you will learn how to use the Motoko Result type to handle
success and error cases in a dictionary application.

The second article of this month was a CodeLab about using the Motoko result
type to handle success and failure cases using a dictionary application as an
example. Particularly intriguing for a Web2 developer is understanding how to
manage smart contract responses in TypeScript.

⚡ First Website on the European Subnet
This is an announcement for a new consulting activity. We are delighted to
announce a project that contains the deployment of a static website on the
Internet Computer within the European subnet.

The third article of March featured a customer story, and we are excited to
share a project involving the deployment of a static website on the Internet
Computer, specifically within the European subnet. Why is this significant? It
is the first dApp operating within the dedicated European subnet on the Internet
Computer!

⚡ CodeLab-02: Deployment Automation
This is an announcement for a new codeLab 02. The aim is to explore the
potential for automating the deployment of static websites on the Internet
Computer.
blog.icacademy.at


The month concluded with an article detailing GitHub actions and their utility
in automating the deployment process for static websites to the Internet
Computer. From the perspective of a traditional company it is more of a
discussion on how to organise its deployment process of a static website using
GitHub action.


MATTERS OF INTEREST

In this segment, I am keen to delve into topics that have sparked my interest
this month. They will be further elaborated upon in an upcoming article.

One subject I am focusing on is cycle consumption. My goal is to unravel the
mysteries surrounding the cycle wallet because the reverse gas model of the
Internet Computer is an important concept and in the upcoming future there seems
to be a change.

An updated cycle ledger is on its way and I am excited to give it a try. For an
initial overview, check out this post from the forum.

⚡Improving the Cycle Management Experience
This is a forum post about the upcoming changes in the cycle management
experience. The post is a great read for everyone who is interested in the cycle
wallet.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

Once again this month, our course “Master Deployments of Static Websites on the
Internet Computer” has seen an increase in attendance, drawing participants from
across the globe. Some participants come from India, Nigeria or Kenya and that
is fantastic.

We have also observed a surge in activity across other social media platforms
like LinkedIn and X which is wonderful. We are truly grateful for this and very
pleased with the increased engagement. Thank you once again.

You are amazing 👍! Your enthusiasm motivates us daily to deliver more
insightful articles and quizzes to help you navigate seamlessly the transition
from Web2 to Web3.

Course update

In March we have also updated the course content and the project template used
throughout. In Module 3, titled “Development and Deployment of a Website on the
Internet Computer”, we have introduced a new chapter focusing on “Deployment
Automation with GitHub actions”.

We want to extend our gratitude to all the participants of the course. Your
dedication is truly remarkable, and we are immensely proud of your embarking on
this journey. For those who have not yet completed the course in its entirety:
Finish the course to claim your certificate!

For those who doubt the usefulness or necessity of certifications, check out our
blog on the topic. Just try it out 🤓.
