FANTASTIC COURSE!!! Laurence Svekis has once again delivered a well-structured, easy-to-follow, and insightful course! This is the third free course I’ve taken from him, and each one has been incredibly valuable. The lessons in this course are concise yet packed with practical knowledge, making it easy to grasp the fundamentals of Google Apps Script. The hands-on examples and source code provided helped reinforce the concepts effectively. If you're looking to quickly understand and start coding with Google Apps Script, I highly recommend this course! Thank you, Laurence, for making learning accessible and enjoyable.

Great introduction for someone with no experience with Google Apps.

By Sonia Montez on 8/11/2021

Excellent intro to Google Apps Script for Docs and Sheets. Shows enough to spark the imagination and motivate reading through the documentation. Heed the requirements. You absolutely need at least a solid understanding of JavaScript fundamentals.

By Igal Sapir on 7/18/2021

The code samples were very helpful for C&P. A quick walkthrough of reference resources for JS would also be very helpful.

By Matthew Gee on 11/9/2020

I appreciate the Quick start as a quick intro into what you can do with Google App Script. I will continue with his more in-depth course on Google App Script.

By Amroe Oemar on 10/11/2020

It's fun, provides enlightenment for beginners in programming, especially for Google Apps Script. Always inspired by Laurence's class to get deeper into GAS...
