Apps Script introductory codelab

This codelab introduces developers to Google Apps Script, our customized JavaScript-in-the-cloud application hosting platform which gives developers integrated access to G Suite, Google, and external services. Access it at http://g.co/codelabs/apps-script-intro.

Prerequisites

• A Google account (G Suite accounts may require administrator approval)
• Basic JavaScript skills
• Basic spreadsheet skills

Introduction

The codelab introduces developers to one of the easiest ways to write code that accesses Google developer technologies, all by leveraging one of the mainstream web development languages, JavaScript. Using Google Apps Script, you will write code to extract an address sitting in a cell in a Google Sheet, generate a Google Map based on that address, and send a link of the map to yourself or a friend using Gmail. The best part? It's only 4 lines of JavaScript!
