dc.description.abstract | Preface
If you are reading this book, there is a good chance you have heard of Google and its
powerful office productivity suite, Google Apps. Google offers search, email, word pro‐
cessing, and hundreds of other cloud applications and services that are available to
individuals but can scale all the way up to serve massive corporations and governments.
As one of Google’s most popular services, Google Apps offers some of the best online
office products available; they’re an excellent example of web-based applications that
outperform legacy desktop software. | vi |
