Automate and extend with Apps Script (Google Cloud for Student Developers)
Blog post from Google Cloud
Google Apps Script is highlighted as an accessible tool for developers of all skill levels to automate and extend functionalities within Google services like Gmail, Drive, Calendar, and more, without requiring deep programming knowledge of HTTP or OAuth2. The video series "Google Cloud for Student Developers" introduces Apps Script as a way to interact with Google APIs through objects, simplifying the process and making it more inclusive for non-engineering majors and budding data scientists. A notable example demonstrates how just four lines of code can integrate Google Sheets, Maps, and Gmail, showcasing the potential for creating powerful applications with minimal code. The tutorial provides a practical, hands-on approach, encouraging developers to envision further possibilities with G Suite developer tools, and invites them to explore additional resources and upcoming episodes featuring full sample apps using both G Suite REST APIs and Apps Script.
