Google Apps Script is the powerful engine behind Google Workspace automation - driving efficiency, reducing manual work, and enabling customized workflows across Gmail, Sheets, Docs, Drive, Forms, and Calendar.

Kickstart Google Apps Script takes you on a structured journey from the ground up. You'll start with a modern JavaScript refresher tailored for the Apps Script environment, and then dive into script types such as container-bound vs. standalone scripts to understand their use cases. With these basics in place, you'll move into core Google services: SpreadsheetApp, GmailApp, DriveApp, FormsApp, CalendarApp, SlidesApp, and DocsApp, learning how to read, write, and automate across them with real-world examples.

Next, you'll unlock more advanced capabilities: building custom user interfaces using the HTML and Card Services, deploying web apps, and setting up time-based and event-driven triggers. The final chapters focus on integrating external services using APIs and webhooks, and consolidating your learning with hands-on exercises and solutions.

By the end, you'll not only understand how to automate and enhance your Google Workspace tools but you'll be empowered to build full-scale, production-ready solutions. Start coding smarter, streamline your workflows, and transform your daily operations—one script at a time.
