Ben Collins
Hi! I’m an experienced data analytics instructor and freelance spreadsheet developer.
I help individuals and businesses better understand their data through analytical insights and visualizations.
Over 20,000 professionals from 1,000+ companies have enrolled in my training courses, including employees from PwC, Netflix, Verizon, Google, Capital One and other Fortune 500 companies.
My training has helped 1,000’s of people advance their careers. I’ve also helped small and large organizations migrate from Microsoft Excel and Office to Google Sheets and G Suite.
Google recognized me as a Google Developer Expert for G Suite Technology in 2019, one of only a handful worldwide.
I work primarily with Google Sheets and Apps Script, and also have extensive experience with Google Data Studio, Microsoft Excel, SQL and Tableau. I’ve previously taught data courses and workshops for General Assembly in Washington, D.C..
Ok, so why should you learn Apps Script?
Great question! Here are my top three reasons how Apps Script could help you:
#1 You can build cool and useful tools immediately
Once you know a little bit of Apps Script, you can immediately start to build useful tools.
The cool tools I was building was the main reason I was able to stick with learning Apps Script when I hit the inevitable hurdles.
It’s really motivating to see early wins when you’re learning a new subject. Especially when you’re learning something that’s technical and potentially challenging.
#2 You start from familiar territory
If you use Gmail, Google Sheets, Docs, or other G Suite apps, then you’re already familiar with the look and feel of Google tools. Apps Script is no different and seamlessly extends the possibilities of what you can do with G Suite tools.
#3 No configuration or setup required
It’s very, very easy to get started. There’s no risk of you getting lost in the terminal installing packages or configuring programs.
There are only three steps to get started: 1) Open your browser, 2) Create a new Apps Script project, and 3) Start coding!
