TechMeetup Scotland: TechMeetup Edinburgh

Welcoming anyone involved or working in technology.

TechMeetup is a monthly excuse for developers and the tech community around Scotland to meet up and learn new stuff from each other. No name badges, no sales pitches, just informative presentations from your peers and a chance to meet some of the tech community around you.

We're not centred around specific languages, technologies or disciplines; we believe there's stuff to learn from mixing everyone together. There's no cost to attend, and food and drink are provided.

This months talks are:

Google Apps Script: The Authentic{ated} Playground

You've probably not heard of Google Apps Script even though it's been around since 2009. Google Apps Script lives in Google Drive and is entirely cloud based ... even the IDE is a web interface. Living in Google Drive means that developers can use Google Apps Script in a Google pre-authenticated environment which makes it possible to integrate into other Google services with a couple of lines of code. This turns Google Drive into a rich playground for a wide range of solutions from custom reporting using Google Sheets as a data interface; quick hacks to get the job done; custom interfaces for Docs, Sheets and Forms; to full blown application deployment to web and mobile. In this talk you'll discover some of the main features of Google Apps Script, highlighting how Apps Script can help your productivity as well as doing some more playful things.
