Hello Austin! We had such a blast with our previous Apps Script hackathons in Washington DC, Mountain View, Chicago and NYC that we’re spreading the joy to our friends in Austin. If you’re an Austin-based developer looking to learn more about Google Apps Script, meet the Apps Script team or just to meet other like-minded developers and build cool things, don’t miss out on this event! We will be holding a hackathon on Thursday, September 13, 2012 between the hours of 2-8pm Central Time at our Austin, TX office.

We’ll be covering the basics of Apps Script for new developers as well as going over a brief overview of all the new features we’ve launched since Google I/O. We’ll be providing the four Ps: power, ping and pizza pie (that’s power strips, wireless internet and food for those of you that aren’t sure!), as well as experts on hand to help you turn your ideas into great apps. Check out the details of the event and RSVP once you know you can make it!
