Google Apps Script is a coding language based on JavaScript that runs in the cloud. You can do really amazing things with Apps Script, within just a few lines of code. It allows you to supercharge your Google Workspace apps, to save time, and do a lot more. Google Apps Script allows you to interact with the Google Suite of products, and create customized functionality within those products. There is nothing to install, it's based on JavaScript which makes it easy to get started with, and because of the code syntax being JavaScript there is a massive amount of coding examples and support online. Anyone can get started with it quickly and easily. I guarantee once you start writing some code, and see how easily it can do amazing things it will leave you wanting more.

This book is designed to help anyone get started with code, loaded with coding examples and code snippets you can try. Learn more with a step by step approach which helps demonstrate the power of Google Apps Script with simple examples. Coding examples are designed as starting exercises which can be used to bring your applications to the next level. Each lesson is specifically designed to demonstrate how a particular aspect of Google Apps Script can be used to perform common tasks and functions.

Resources, code examples, links, tips… everything you need in order to start coding and bring your applications to life.

The code presented in this book is designed to demonstrate what is possible with Google Apps Script. There is a lot that can be done and projects in this book are starter projects and exercises to help you learn about Apps Script. I do suggest that as you read the lessons of this book, to try the code alongside the lesson, so that you can see the code in action and test the various functions that will be presented.

You will need a Google Account in order to write Google Apps Script. Google Apps Script can be created directly within a web browser, the IDE for writing the code is online. Code does get saved files within your Google Drive.

Having a real passion for the amazing things that can be done with Google Apps Script it's been a real joy to create this project based book, so that others can learn and try Google Apps Script. The contents of this book contain many coding exercises to practice and learn more about how to apply Google Apps Script code. Please note that having prior JavaScript coding experience although not required is strongly suggested as Google Apps Script uses the JavaScript code syntax and it renders in the JavaScript engine.

Valuable reference tool

FYI - the reviewer that claims there is no table of contents, it is literally the second page of the preview book. Since the book is on kindle the page numbers aren't needed. Simply click on the link and you go to the page needed.

One reviewer, "For instance, take the question, what can Google Scripts do for emails (if anything)?"

There are also, literally, several sections that talks about how you can do things using emails. Open the kindle book and search email and you get 73 results. Lot of times email is used for various functions., but since the 2 star reviewer wonders what it can do, if anything regarding emails there is an entire section that talks about GmailApp class and goes into a number of things that you can do with it. This is in addition to generating emails from different apps like sheets or emailing someone form data, etc. emailing script made PDFs based on web data, text, spreadsheet data, etc.

Little tip ~ The book is only 125 pages or so. Look at it and then review it.

Me, I liked it and it is a great addition to the Udemy course that I also have from Laurence.

Google Apps is pretty powerful and a great way to learn a language, if like me, you need to learn by being able to apply what you learn to meaningful things and since I use spreadsheets everyday learning Apps Script is much easier and many of the examples are based on sheets.

If you are an 'applied science' kind of learner, get this book and at least play around with it. If you are new to languages get it anyway and check out his udemy courses. Apps Script is pretty much Java Script so anything you learn from Apps Script will be teaching you Java Script as well. But since you have the added benefit of the knowledge of interacting with google doc products.

Laurence knows his stuff!

There is no one teaching Google Apps Scripts on the internet that has the amount of experience and depth of knowledge that Laurence has.

This book breaks down the code in an easy to understand way and he guides you through the various projects.

With many screenshots, you are helped through the process visually.

Great book!

No Table of Contents - Very Aggrevating

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 17, 2022

Verified Purchase

There is no table of contents, which makes it hard to see what info is in the book, and where to find it.

For instance, take the question, what can Google Scripts do for emails (if anything)?
The only way to find out if the book has anything to say about that (or ANY broad topic), is to flip every page and see there is anything said (search function couldn't find anything either).

Without some guide of where to find specific topics or info, the book is rendered not very useful. (Unless you just want to read it like a novel)
