Читать книгу G Suite For Dummies - Paul McFedries, Paul McFedries - Страница 13

My dictionary defines a suite as “a connected series of rooms to be used together.” You're probably thinking hotel suite, but that definition is actually a succinct and useful definition of the Suite part of the G Suite name. You can, in fact, define G Suite as “a connected series of Google apps to be used together.” That is, the G Suite apps are all awesome when used by themselves, but they're designed in a way that connects them together to make your work life easier, more efficient, and more productive.

Okay, so what are these apps that I've been going on and on about? Table 1-1 provides the list, with pointers to where you can find more info later in this book.
