I recently read a book that I found to be extremely helpful for beginners using the AppSheet platform. The book is specifically tailored for "citizen developers" - those who may not have a background in software development but are looking to build business apps for their own business or organization. The author does an excellent job of providing a concise guide for onboarding to the AppSheet platform and helps readers understand how to build simple to medium complex business apps.The book covers various platform features in a step-by-step manner, making it easy to understand for those who may not have a lot of experience. The author explains the AppSheet app editor in detail, which is used to configure apps. I particularly appreciated the coverage of advanced features such as views, actions, app functions and expressions, AppSheet automation, data security, managing app users, managing app environments, and tips and tricks.The author also mentions that having a familiarity with spreadsheets and basic database knowledge will enhance the reader's understanding of the concepts covered in the book. I found this to be true as I found it easier to understand the concepts explained in the book because of my background in spreadsheets and databases.Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to build business apps using the AppSheet platform. It is a great resource for beginners and is written in a way that is easy to understand.

I am reading the book and even though I don’t have the bandwidth to create an app myself right now, I am liking the tips provided by the authors. It’s an amazing read with lots of focus on doing things step by step in the right manner. You can read the book to learn more about AppSheet or keep the book at your desk when you create your next application. The book helps you learn everything that’s necessary to build an application with AppSheet and the detailed coverage of all concepts is the best part of the book. It’s definitely a great read for all no code developers.

This book is for everyone who has tried to create an application on a no code platform. It may be a bit overwhelming for you if you come from a non-technical background, however the authors have explained all elements in a pretty extensive manner with all necessary steps. This book can be helpful for techies as well if you want to create an application in a quicker time period.

The book ‘Democratizing Application Development with AppSheet’ is a resourceful text to know more about creating apps using AppSheet. AppSheet is a no code platform that was acquired by Google recently and the authors have done a commendable job by writing a book that takes you through the process of creating an app with the platform. You can read the book and create your own application without any coding. The book covers important elements, right from data preparation to the app’s UX development in detail. There is an extensive information on data management as well within the appI would totally suggest this book to anyone who is looking for a no code platform to create apps for business.
