Hi, I’m Laurence Svekis, and I’m here to help you learn smarter, build real skills, and confidently use AI and modern tools to create amazing things.

I’m a Google Developer Expert (GDE), international speaker, author, and educator specializing in AI-powered learning, Google Workspace automation, and practical development with Google Apps Script and JavaScript.

I focus on helping learners understand how things work, how to apply AI responsibly, and how to build tools that solve real problems. Many of my courses explore how AI can act as a tutor, assistant, or productivity booster inside everyday tools like Google Docs, Sheets, and Workspace.

Very nice course but could be more explainable for section 2, meaning just 2-3 lectures needs to be added like loops examples, switch cases and and others

By Gboyega Olusanya on 7/14/2023

Generally, a great course. However, a number of videos were imported from another course I guess and the audio quality on those were really awful. I am happy to review my rating if those videos' audio can be fixed.

Course content is good. Atleast trainer can add some description on each line of code, so that will be helpful whenever we reference the code.

good course so much interactive,im coding parallely with the instructor

By Jordan Barnes on 3/23/2023

I learned a lot about the JavaScript foundations, and even though I've been using JS for 7+ years, I still was able to get something new out of the course. I took it for a refresher. I had learned from Svekis' videos before and thought this course was worth a shot, and I'm glad I did.

By Anonymized User on 3/6/2023

It is definitely what I was looking for and what I need. I definitely see myself taking these courses. At first glance, they seem very simple and easy to follow. In the interface is very user friendly.
