Chapter 1. Introducing Google Apps Scripts

I know there may not be a single person in the world who has access to the Internet who has not used at least one of Google's products or services in their lifetime.

Google is known for its famous search engine, the video serving portal YouTube, and now by its numerous web applications, namely Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Forms. It also provides cloud computing and other software services.

The word "Google" has even become a verb, referring to conducting a web search. Nowadays, you hear people saying "I Googled something" rather than "I searched the web for something". In this chapter, you will learn about Google Applications, Application Scripts, and how to create a custom formula/function.
