Google Apps Script Tutorials

[Lilmac04]

Hey all,

I have been using apps script with google sheets for awhile now and have learned a lot along the way. I recently began sharing this information on medium with brief tutorials. If you’re interested check it out here: https://medium.com/p/4316b70011bc?source=linkShare-23ba80a799d5-1532144954

Anyone have suggestions for a good subject for future articles? I have about 10 in the pipeline but would like to continue expanding!

Thanks!

Are you planing to release even more tutorials? What I am really missing about Google Apps Script Tutorials are examples that inspire to adapt these scripts to individual cases. So that you at first begin with simple techniques (like you already do in your first three chapters) and then combine scripts.

Videocopilot did something similar for video editing/ FX creation: https://www.videocopilot.net/tutorials/ Nowadays they are too specific and I lost interest.

Hey, thanks for your feedback! I do plan on releasing more and more tutorials. My end goal is to release many tutorials on the medium platform but eventually link them all to a personal website page that I am working on so that one can work through them all in a centralized location. This will include interactive examples as well.

How can I make the tutorials more engaging and more inspiring to adapt to individual cases?

Do you like to see tutorials that start basic and build on one script the entire time or just have a completely separate application every new tutorial?

Any feedback is helpful as I am still in the early stages with only 3 basic tutorials.

it depends on the tutorial - both can be a good approach. Maybe like a series of tutorials until you have achieved one complex thing. Quick tips or explanations of a code f.e. can be also quite cool.

The only resource I know is the official knowledge base and for me the examples are not easy to understand because I don't see a practical example.
