Roll Your Own Android Apps With New Tool From Google

New York Times: Roll Your Own Android Apps With New Tool From Google

The idea behind Google App Inventor for Android, available starting Monday, is to enable users to develop their own applications for the Android mobile operating system.


“Google is bringing Android software development to the masses.

The company will offer a software tool, starting Monday, that is intended to make it easy for people to write applications for its Android smartphones.

The free software, called Google App Inventor for Android (http://appinventor.googlelabs.com/about/), has been under development for a year. User testing has been done mainly in schools with groups that included sixth graders, high school girls, nursing students and university undergraduates who are not computer science majors.”
