Ever want to integrate Google technologies into the web & mobile apps you [or your developer teams] build for your organization or your customers'? Most Google Workspace applications like Gmail, Google Drive, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, and Slides have a developer API. In this session, we explore each Workspace productivity tool, giving you an idea of its developer component, provide insight on use cases, and show some code demonstrating how to access its data & functionality. In addition to REST APIs, there's also Google Apps Script, the Workspace serverless platform providing an easier on-ramp to programmatic Workspace access.
Using Workspace APIs in simple scripts is one thing. It's another thing altogether if you wish to deploy apps to the cloud without having to worry about virtual machines, getting them connected to the Internet, figuring out operating systems, databases, security, and so on. Wouldn't it be great if you could just deploy code and make it globally available in under a minute? Attendees will also get a quick introduction to Google Cloud serverless platforms that deliver EXACTLY THAT, giving users the easiest & fastest way to deploy code with the least amount of effort. This session wraps-up with some inspirational examples of what you can build. With all this knowledge, you can begin to leverage the power of Google Cloud, whether Workspace, GCP, or both, in your own apps! |
