Abstract

Nowadays, the term "Cloud Computing” is already widely know. The idea of access data anywhere without relying solely on one device evolves every year, with the increased availability of softwares and storage space in the Cloud. Google, which has its own Cloud Computing system, the Google Apps, was one of the pioneers in another service: Cloud Programming, considerated as a new programming paradigm. Through Google Apps Script, Google has made possible to implement programs in the Google Apps’ Cloud platform. Thus, instead of executing the program in the client’s side, it runs on the Google Cloud. The main use of Google Apps Script is to automatically accomplish tasks between Google’s products and even with third-party services. The goal of this work is to explore the concept of this tecnology of Cloud Programming. Thus, it was aimed to develop applications that can be used with Google’s services used by courses of Computer Science and Information Systems of the Federal University of Santa Maria. These application will be used to automate repetitive tasks thar are currently performed manually, consuming time of the employees and can be used from the first academic semester of 2014.
