Google App Script: Is it worth learning?
Good things first..
- Google App Script is a simple language based on JavaScript to have your web applications up and running in no time.
- You can make interesting applications out of google products and can use External API's as well.
- It's developed and deployed on Cloud. Hope you know the advantages of Cloud.
- Logging and Code Re-visioning facilities.
- Allow who can access and how.
Limitations
- There is a limitation with the maximum execution time, if your application takes extra time for manipulation and stuff, you have to think twice.
- It has got some limitations with CSS. I was struggling to have a background color in a page where I add things dynamically.
- Google! Yes. The user of the application including the developer needs a google account. Only upon login, we could access it.
- URL : The application is deployed with a url something like this (script.google.com/macros/s/AKfycbx11V -----/exec). Anyway, you can shorten the URL, Though, there is nothing wrong about it, still it needs to be remembered. I find it less interesting. :-/
Learning is always good! No matter what :)
