1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:04,019
For this course have scripted and
2
00:00:04,020 --> 00:00:06,450
recorded about 70 videos over the past
3
00:00:06,451 --> 00:00:08,970
few months that was kind of hard work
4
00:00:08,971 --> 00:00:11,009
but this one is probably the hardest I
5
00:00:11,010 --> 00:00:12,705
guess you might want to know something
6
00:00:12,706 --> 00:00:15,088
about me since we'll be together for
7
00:00:15,089 --> 00:00:16,720
quite a while as you work through the
8
00:00:16,721 --> 00:00:18,350
Lester's so here goes
9
00:00:19,190 --> 00:00:20,659
McPherson house
10
00:00:20,660 --> 00:00:23,599
contact me on G+ Twitter and LinkedIn
11
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,028
I'm not on Facebook it's pretty
12
00:00:26,029 --> 00:00:29,315
straightforward it's just my name I was
13
00:00:29,316 --> 00:00:31,145
born in Scotland and I've lived and
14
00:00:31,146 --> 00:00:32,915
worked in quite a few places throughout
15
00:00:32,916 --> 00:00:35,045
the world but mainly it's been here in
16
00:00:35,046 --> 00:00:38,120
London although I studied computer
17
00:00:38,121 --> 00:00:40,519
science at college I wasn't always
18
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,230
involved in IT although for most of my
19
00:00:42,231 --> 00:00:45,680
working life that's what I've been doing
20
00:00:45,681 --> 00:00:48,230
I started out in IT over 35 years ago
21
00:00:48,231 --> 00:00:50,390
and back then it wasn't in any way
22
00:00:50,391 --> 00:00:51,919
related to the skillset of today but
23
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,320
it's been a real journey to see the
24
00:00:54,321 --> 00:00:56,329
technologies come and go and I'm still
25
00:00:56,330 --> 00:00:58,520
was enthused today as I always was when
26
00:00:56,329 --> 00:00:59,060
I was starting out my career has been a
27
00:00:59,061 --> 00:01:00,935
little different than what you might
28
00:01:00,936 --> 00:01:03,410
expect I started out as the IT guy at a
29
00:01:03,411 --> 00:01:06,590
small data company that grew into one of
30
00:01:06,591 --> 00:01:09,289
the world's largest in its field over
31
00:01:09,290 --> 00:01:11,450
the 20 years I was there my job evolved
32
00:01:11,451 --> 00:01:13,280
from the IT guy to the CIO as the team
33
00:01:13,281 --> 00:01:15,380
grew and we expanded internationally I
34
00:01:15,381 --> 00:01:17,899
loved the way that our product was data
35
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:20,750
and how integral IT was to the company's
36
00:01:20,751 --> 00:01:22,910
success for the next 15 years I worked
37
00:01:22,911 --> 00:01:25,130
for large us-based international tech
38
00:01:25,131 --> 00:01:26,660
companies such as Lucent Bell Labs and
39
00:01:26,661 --> 00:01:28,610
Motorola Oro's
40
00:01:28,611 --> 00:01:30,289
chief IT architect and head of
41
00:01:30,290 --> 00:01:32,330
engineering as well as various other
42
00:01:32,331 --> 00:01:33,770
roles these were different kinds of
43
00:01:33,771 --> 00:01:35,509
challenges finding ways of applying
44
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:37,429
technology to make our people and
45
00:01:37,430 --> 00:01:39,890
processors as effective as they could be
46
00:01:39,891 --> 00:01:42,110
I think that to be successful in an
47
00:01:39,890 --> 00:01:42,695
organization we are surrounded by some
48
00:01:42,696 --> 00:01:44,345
of the smartest people in the world
49
00:01:44,346 --> 00:01:46,475
you've got to be able to do stuff as
50
00:01:46,476 --> 00:01:48,545
well as talk about it so I've always
51
00:01:48,546 --> 00:01:50,435
been hands-on even though I haven't been
52
00:01:50,436 --> 00:01:52,264
a professional developer for many years
53
00:01:52,265 --> 00:01:55,220
I've had the advantage of having
54
00:01:55,221 --> 00:01:56,615
visionary bosses who gave me the
55
00:01:56,616 --> 00:01:58,925
latitude to not only do my job but also
56
00:01:58,926 --> 00:02:01,010
find out as much as I could about the
57
00:02:01,011 --> 00:02:03,890
tools of my job - I've always been
58
00:02:03,891 --> 00:02:06,200
interested in integration and the
59
00:02:06,201 --> 00:02:08,300
connections between there since I first
60
00:02:08,301 --> 00:02:11,030
started which is what drew me to Google
61
00:02:11,031 --> 00:02:12,800
Apps in the first place I decided to
62
00:02:12,801 --> 00:02:15,080
first write a book on how a transition
63
00:02:15,081 --> 00:02:17,060
from VBA on the Microsoft Office
64
00:02:17,061 --> 00:02:19,190
platform to Apps Script on the Google
65
00:02:19,191 --> 00:02:20,870
platform since I noticed that many who
66
00:02:20,871 --> 00:02:22,900
are trying to do this was suffering a
67
00:02:22,901 --> 00:02:25,670
little it's a bit of a culture shock
68
00:02:25,671 --> 00:02:27,739
I've always loved the immediacy of Apps
69
00:02:27,740 --> 00:02:29,570
Script you write a couple of lines of
70
00:02:27,739 --> 00:02:30,290
code and something really cool happens
71
00:02:30,291 --> 00:02:31,835
right away so
72
00:02:31,836 --> 00:02:33,769
led me to put in together this video of
73
00:02:33,770 --> 00:02:36,470
course to show how easy is to get great
74
00:02:36,471 --> 00:02:38,239
stuff done in Apps Script
75
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:39,920
for the past few years I've had the
76
00:02:39,921 --> 00:02:42,560
privilege of being one of a small group
77
00:02:42,561 --> 00:02:45,649
of people that Google refers to as gdes
78
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:47,629
Google developer experts this keeps us
79
00:02:47,630 --> 00:02:49,730
close to Google developments existing
80
00:02:49,731 --> 00:02:51,920
and upcoming and is a very active and
81
00:02:51,921 --> 00:02:53,899
vibrant organization it's full of very
82
00:02:53,900 --> 00:02:56,510
smart people with skills across the
83
00:02:56,511 --> 00:02:58,220
whole spectrum of Google products this
84
00:02:58,221 --> 00:03:00,500
is a very interesting time for both
85
00:03:00,501 --> 00:03:02,359
individuals and organizations as they
86
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,489
move away from being software centric to
87
00:03:04,490 --> 00:03:06,140
being information centric and the
88
00:03:06,141 --> 00:03:08,299
ability to move around freely across
89
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,089
platforms is central to being successful
90
00:03:11,090 --> 00:03:12,920
in that transformation I'm grateful to
91
00:03:12,921 --> 00:03:14,629
O'Reilly media for giving me a voice to
92
00:03:14,630 --> 00:03:17,358
play a part in sharing my knowledge with
93
00:03:17,359 --> 00:03:18,839
you and here's how to contact me and
94
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:20,319
good luck with the course
