  • GAS basics parts 1-3: cover more examples as described in the last section of Gist linked to issue 45
  • Conduct first and second general sessions
  • Conducted General Session II (and GAS part 3 working session)
  • Started a timeout on July 12
  • Aug 15, 2018 General Session III CANCELED

2018.06.20 WS-GAS Basics Part 1

Recording Link

Agenda with notes

  • GAS Basics working sessions to try out GAS on sheets data; some of these could be turned into demos of successful "GAS patterns"

    • Each week for a series of weeks will cover some GAS basics and share the sheet with its script as well as the recording, so you can follow along and explore.
    • We recommend making a copy of the provided files and then working from there. If you want to make comments on the file, just add comments in the sheet we link you to.

  • Topics covered include

    • Update Multiple Values
    • Manipulate Disjoint Ranges
    • joint discovery based on interest and time
      • on open build menu calling these
      • others? practice using and presenting from editor
    • dates - cancelling working session on Aug 1st

  • This week's Cool links:

  • Unassigned Action Items: research items, problems to solve, notes, special items

    • Other DevFlows from GDEs we gave feedback (and got mentioned) in a google developer expert's DevFlow for an org team. This G+ post shows him listing a document for feedback and the document itself has comments you can review in comment mode. He has a great idea about including manifest files (more later). IF you are ever keen and the post is still up, check it out for a look at open collaboration about methods.
    • ideas for GAS series working sessions
      • use the "Gist query my sheet" demo to build a 2d array from sheet data
        -[ ] try out a few patterns on this data
      • PhaseII? - grab real problems posed in G+ for discussion; for example, this one has a recommended solution where the answer involves a simple and an installable trigger. Triggers might be a topic
        • setup a series to solve, then work the list practicing working in GAS
      • Incorporate manifests so required services are more clear and GAS GitHub assistant pulls them as well. This is a js file you can make visible in the web GAS editor. Review also Other DevFlows from GDEs in GAS Basics Part 1 notes as it was their suggestion

  • Themes - focus/audience, amount of content, complexity of content, there is a value to create and deliver
  • We made Alexander Ivanov’s google apps script awesome list
  • we are #3 in a current google search!
  • Feedback from G+ Moderators

5 Rudy's notes on organizing principles of getting good at something B/H, C, M
B/H - behavior the critical success factors
figure out what they are, make them your habits, observe the best you can find, follow critical content creators on twitter, pay attention

C - competence
many kinds/domains (this is the stuff of methodologies) examples of competence/acumen include - technical, professional, business, others…
in your career you will generally be working on maybe 4-8 that you should master (check that number, i’m just throwing that out there)
rating competence - if on a scale of 1-5; 1 would be newly trained and 5 might be gets paid to present or published content for sale

M-mastery
10,000hrs + continual learning
a good motto borrowed from martial arts “we need more practice”

6 Closing notes
Rob and I will be working on DevFlow as an ongoing open source with attribution project. So keep watching the space. Also, you can now watch for release updates.

Startup activities:
Additionally, I applied for the ND to learn how to make my own prototypes and help me in bootstrapping a startup.
If you want to learn about that, get to know us through the DevFlow project first.
If your company is looking to establish a GAS team using DevFlow, please reach out as I might be doing some of that in the new year as well.
