This course amazing When I start to learn this course I have no experience about the google app script I never be think about that when I complete this course I mastered It. Thanks a lot for this valuable Course.

By Pedro Gehrt on 6/15/2022

Complete course with a great professor. Great projects as examples to show what you can do with GAS! This course helped me a lot on my job and i even was congratulated! Thanks!

By Branko Willems on 5/27/2021

Many thanks to the instructor! It saved me plenty of time to go through the developers documentation. It must have been a big effort to compile the course and showing all the interactions. My suggestion: - in my view, maybe because I am coming from the XL world, some more Sheets related functionality can be part of the examples - while the examples are very academic, and show the easy of combining apps like calendar and sheets, maybe some real business related examples would be nice for instance: -an expense bookkeeping app with graphs accessible over the web -a student grades webpage, where each student can log in to retrieve the scores and the progression -a stock portefolio app maybe an idea for a follow up course ? I would be very happy to follow such a course :) Thanks again.

udah dimengerti dan diikuti penjelasannya

By David Bishop on 12/6/2020

It's good. I will reserve judgment for later -- as we get more into the real functionality of the script language. It's been very basic so far and that's fine. I understand the teacher must start at the lowest common denominator and work up from there.

By Drew Lurker on 12/6/2020

this is great but they just to running the code before i can get my code sorted out. I find myself having to pause the video to catch up. Then the play icon is over the code making it hard to read and find out where I have a mistake.

By Amroe Oemar on 11/18/2020

It's awesome, beyond my expectations. Great Job, thanks Laurence...

By Waldes Machado on 11/18/2020

So far so good. But I am still in the initial training modules, so let's see how it progress when we reach the more advanced topics. Thanks.
