Preface

This book enables citizen developers to create their own simple or complex hybrid apps for business or personal use. It teaches you how to combine features so that an app is efficient and easy to use for the end user. Many citizen developers regularly use spreadsheets in their business and day-to-day jobs. They can use the AppSheet platform to take their spreadsheet work to the next level with its ease of use. The AppSheet platform allows citizen developers to run their businesses more efficiently and manage them in the field, beyond the office.

As the book progresses, you will learn how the AppSheet editor works and how it is used to configure, test, and deploy an app. You will learn how to effectively use data sources, create app views, and deploy actions, and discover how you can make your app secure through security options and user-friendly through UX options. You will learn how to create, store in the cloud, and send files through emails by using AppSheet Automation bots. You will learn how to integrate third-party services. Also, you will build an app throughout the book so that you get hands-on experience.

By the end of this book, you will be able to build medium-complexity AppSheet apps using the AppSheet features discussed in the book.
