This is the 2015 edition of my Google Apps Script: The authentic{ated} playground talk most recently given to GDG Berlin (Dec. 2015). With a pre-authenticated cloud-based ecosystem Google Apps Script makes it possible to integrate into other Google services with a couple of lines of code. This turns Google Drive into a rich playground for a wide range of solutions from custom reporting using Google Sheets as a data interface; quick hacks to get the job done; custom interfaces for Docs, Sheets and Forms; to full blown application deployment to web and mobile. In this talk the main features and affordances of Google Apps Script are highlighted, this will be followed by a deep dive into a demonstration into how Google Apps Script makes it easy to combine Google Analytics with other data sources such as Twitter and do many more playful things.
