I learned a lot about this matter. I really appreciate getting these useful skills to get the best out of working with Google Sheets. Thanks!!!

O curso exige que se tenha um conhecimento prévio de linguagens javascripts, Jquery, HTML e conhecimento em programação no Google Apps Script (GAS). Atendeu muito bem minha expectativa! Enquanto assistia a aula, era possível desenvolver minha aplicação conforme as instruções.
By Anonymized User on 6/10/2018
Best delivery so far of this and related topics. Most highly-specific, advanced courses on Udemy and elsewhere tend to either be boring or lacking in content, many times both. Not here.
By Essam Mustafa on 4/15/2018
Good and easy, needs to cover more topics, such as security, hide the sheet id, how to use google sheet API, ...
By Michael O'Shaughnessy on 3/18/2018
Very good basic info. It is DEFINITELY not for begging web programs. My skills and knowledge of how to use an HTML editor, what jQuery is along with it's basic use were definitely needed.
