Outline
● Overview
● Getting started
● Authorization boilerplate
● Motivational ideas
● Wrap-up
● [hacking + API usage examples]](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/googleapicodingworkshop-2c-161203022905/85/G-Suite-Google-APIs-coding-workshop-1-320.jpg)
![Alternative
● Google Apps Script
○ What is it?
■ Executes as JavaScript in Google's cloud
■ Think “built-in” services vs. traditional API usage
■ Convenient access to G Suite/Google Apps data
■ Can also access other Google+external services
■ developers.google.com/apps-script
○ Video resources

Summary
● We’ve created great tech but can’t build everything(!)
● APIs: our tech available for your apps; free?!?
● Access w/favorite dev tool via Google APIs Client Library
○ Python, JavaScript (client + Node.js), Java, C#/.NET, Go,
Dart, Ruby, PHP
○ Also mobile: Android (Java), iOS (Swift, Objective-C)
● Build the next great thing!](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/googleapicodingworkshop-2c-161203022905/85/G-Suite-Google-APIs-coding-workshop-17-320.jpg)
