Not many people know this, but you can actually practice coding in Google Sheets! But why would you want to do that? 4 reasons…

First, it’s fast access. Usually to code in other languages, you would need to open an IDE and sometimes I just don’t have the patience to open up Visual Studio or Visual Studio Code. It’s too many features and sometimes I would be on my tablet and I don’t feel like going to my laptop to try coding something.

Second, it’s quick coding. Google sheets has a lot of functions there you can use to do some simple data processing. For example, you can easily sum up numbers. I like to use the Google Finance functions to get stock prices.

Third, it’s practical. I’m sure everyone has a google sheet that they have used to organize personal information or data before. Why not add some useful data processing to it? For example, if you’re doing your budget on google sheets, you can easily do some data processing with your debt, income, and expenses.

Lastly, coding in Google Sheets is very similar to coding in other programming languages. There’s your typical arithmetic operations that everyone uses. But there’s also boolean logic, if statements, and functions! The benefit is that you can see all your data visually as it’s being processed.

Practicing coding in Google Sheets is just something natural to do as a software developer. After all, the fundamental skill of a software developer is making your computer do what you want it to do.
