on 02/18/2013
Excerpt: Ever since we launched Appogee Leave — the first tool in the Google Apps Marketplace for tracking employees’ absences and time off — customers have been asking, “Can you support my native language? ”

Apps Script Rewind
googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com
on 01/25/2013
Excerpt: Sometimes you just want to sit uninterrupted at your keyboard, bashing out a clever Apps Script to automate your life and your work … but sometimes you want to see how Google experts approach the tough problems. Sometimes you want to draw on other Apps Scripters for inspiration or help. That’s why the Apps Script team — and many other developer-focused teams at Google — record Google Developers Live episodes in which we highlight a specific topic and drill down to discuss it in detail. We also hold regular livestreamed office hours via Google+ Hangouts, which we post on YouTube afterwards. In these office hours, we discuss recent releases and give in-depth tutorials on topics interesting to Apps Script users.... read the full post.

Orbeon Forms — XForms Everywhere: Creating REST services with Google Apps Script
blog.orbeon.com
on 12/19/2012
Excerpt: There are times when you'd like to create a service, want the service to be available publicly, and want to do this quickly, maybe for testing or for a demo you're putting together. In those cases, Google Apps Script might just be the solution you're looking for. As an example, let's create a service that tells us if a number it receives is even. The number will be passed as a request parameter, e. g. . number=42
, and will provide an XML response, e. g. true. Then, we will call this service from a form created with Form Builder, to show, next to an input field, whether the typed number is even or odd.... read the full post.

on 12/19/2012
Excerpt: Google Apps Script is one of the more interesting projects over at Google. It has the potential to totally rethink how people build applications for the Web and over the Cloud.

Managing tasks and reminders through Google Apps Script
googleappsdeveloper.blogspot.com
on 12/19/2012
Excerpt: There are many tools available to help you manage a task list and Google Apps comes with its own simple Tasks app. But sometimes it is more convenient and collaborative to simply manage your task list in a shared spreadsheet. This spreadsheet can be a simple personal task list or a project-management interface that requires team-wide coordination. Google Spreadsheets come with a set of notification rules that might come in handy. For example, you can be notified each time someone adds a new task to the list or each time the status of a task is updated. Furthermore, it is very easy add to add basic reminders through Apps Script with just a few lines of code:
function remindMe() { var sheet = SpreadsheetApp. getActiveSpreadsheet().... read the full post.

Webshell.io: the shell for scripting and combining APIs in Javascript | Hacker News
news.ycombinator.com
on 12/19/2012
Excerpt: Cool interface but I'm not sure what sort of value you're going for here. Is it a set of APIs that make it easier to get stuff done in a repl? If so, it doesn't seem more useful than console so far (looking at the Google Maps and HTTP call examples). Or is it a lightweight IDE -- if so, would this be better done as a browser extension that could circumvent security restrictions? (and also operate on any document, including those served from localhost)
I really like it intuitively, but also, I don't get it.... read the full post.
