Look inside

Google Apps Script is a coding language based on JavaScript that runs in the cloud. It allows you to supercharge your Google Workspace apps so they do more with less work from you. Apps Script can be created directly within a web browser, and the IDE for writing the code is online. Code is saved as files within your Google Drive. It all runs in the cloud, and there is nothing to download!

Enroll now to get instant access to more than nine hours of premium video lessons, plus three downloadable workbooks, one for each section, totaling 118 pages of source code, tips, resources, and exercises.

If you want to learn how to code with Google Apps Script, and explore all the cool things you can do with it, this course is a must-have. Find out how to both customize your current Google apps and build your own. Each lesson demonstrates how a particular aspect of the script can be used to perform common tasks and functions, and includes exercises to challenge you. Try out the code alongside each lesson, so you can see it in action and test all the functions!

Course content comes from common questions and coding challenges that students frequently pose to the course instructor.
