Through Google Documents, Google provides amazing web based tools for students, businesses, and educators. During a Google Developer Group meeting at Mercer University, I was introduced to a cool programming technology enabling developers to customize Google App experiences using JavaScript.   Using Google App Script, you can automate tasks and connect Google products to together. You can also connect apps to third-party data sources and API's.
