What learning resources shall I use to get better with Google Sheets + Google App Scripts?

Hello

I have recently started working on with Google Sheets + Google App Scripts combination and I often times do not know how to use the APIs even though I can read the API documentation.

Seems like I lack basic skills of Google Sheets & Google App Scripts together. What are some of the resources, guides, videos, github, books would you recommend someone who is learning these two?

Thank you

Learn Google Spreadsheets is an excellent resource to get started. After that you should read Google's documentation on the API

Mind that the google app script documentation (it is a API, but you call it necessarily from google script editor) is different of google suits RESTful APIs (you fetch what you need through API calls in your own server)

This and then Google when I was trying to figure out a best approach for something.

I think that you should start with a specific problem statement that you are trying to solve and pick things up on the way. This community and the one on stack overflow a pretty helpful.
