Ramalingam Ganapathy is an independent computer software professional with more than 15 years of working experience of JavaScript and Google Apps Script. In 1985, he started his career as a digital electronic circuit designer and service engineer. Highly interested in reading technical books and building electronic projects, he is a detail-oriented and logical person. Since 2001, he has been freelancing with Elance and Upwork (formerly oDesk). He earned a good reputation on the Upwork portal, and most of his clients are satisfied.
I must thank and dedicate this book to my wife, Thiripurasundari, who served me coffee late at night. Also my son, Muhilan, and daughter, Rajalakshmi, who tested the code from the beginner's point of view.
Serge Gabet has been a professional audio equipment manufacturer for 20 years and is now working for an artistic upper school in Brussels, Belgium, as a teacher and technical manager. He is also in charge of the Google Apps administration of this school. He develops custom applications using Google Apps Script mainly for his school, though he also works in other areas.
He has been designated a top contributor by Google since June 2011. He was active on the Google Group Help forum until 2012, then on the Stack Overflow forum (the Google Help Group forum was closed in June 2012), and became a first ranker and an all-time contributor on the Stack Overflow forum a few months ago.
I'd like to thank all the forum contributors who were on the same forum at the time that I was new to the forum and helped me take my first steps. Most of them are now top contributors too, and even if their knowledge was (and still is) greater than mine, they never make me feel it. Thanks for that.
Also, thanks to Google collaborators for their day-to-day presence and for listening to our concerns.
