This book enables citizen developers to create their own simple or complex hybrid apps for business or personal use. It shows you how to combine features together to make your app more efficient and easy to use for the end user.

Many citizen developers regularly use spreadsheets in their business and day-to-day jobs. With AppSheet, they can take their spreadsheets to the next level by enhancing their ease-of-use.

Next, you’ll go on to create, store in the cloud, and send files through emails. You’ll also understand how to integrate third-party services. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll build an app to gain hands-on experience.
