Far from being a google promoter, I do like this. Google Apps Script opens up google spreadsheets to scripting – Just like Macro’s etc in Excel, but with Javascript. This effectively opens up a world of online data processing and analysis that would have not been easily possible within a browser before hand, especially suiting web-devs its nice to see an amount of custom programmability going into semi-democratised tools.
I can see applications ranging from replacing my SEO QUAKE’s list parameter check to many many web marketing, analytics, data crawling and recording processes, all of which you could do in ms.excel, yet more accessible here. This isn’t a big deal, but landed on my lap this morning so here’s the share 😉
