| ✅ Alice Keeler, GDE - AppSheet: Unleash Your Inner App Maker | (45 minutes - Workshop)
Your office uses Google Workspace Docs, Sheets, and Slides. Most likely you have said "Why can't I do ___" Using 3rd party add-ons from the Google Workspace Marketplace can provide helpful additional functionality. However, they are not exactly what you need and the cost may be prohibitive. Using Google Gemini and Google Apps Script you can get started quickly creating custom built solutions that significantly increase your productivity. Collect data with a Google Form and then have it email just the right person based on the information submitted. The possibilities are endless! This workshop requires NO EXPERTISE with coding. Bring your laptop and your Google Workspace account for a hands on experience to get you going with custom solutions! |
| ✅ Ángel Ramírez - Kubernetes for the rest of us! | (45 minutes - Workshop) This interactive workshop simplifies the learning process of Kubernetes, making it accessible even if you have no prior knowledge of infrastructure or DevOps.
