Office still supports VBA, but it’s not likely to do so for much longer. If you’re a VBA or .NET developer, you’ll learn how to port existing VBA code and structure to their JavaScript-based Apps Script equivalents with minimal effort. Author Bruce Mcpherson introduces JavaScript basics for experienced developers unfamiliar with the language, and demonstrates ways to build real-world apps using all of the Apps Script services previously covered.
- Use App Script’s equivalent of Excel’s object model
- Target the most commonly used parts of Microsoft Word
- Automate processes in Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts
- Access the local client filesystem with Google Drive
- Build and run applications in a browser
- Store persistent data conveniently
- Render HTML content in response to HTTP requests
- Automate the maintenance and creation of pages and content
- Interact with a REST service or NoSQL database
- Access Apps Script capabilities from other platforms
