Google App Inventor: sviluppo facile per Android.
Se la vostra domanda ricorrente è come poter diventare sviluppatori di applicazioni per Android senza essere… sviluppatori, la risposta viene da quel di Mountain View: Google App Inventor. Si tratta di un’applicazione per creare applicazioni: anziché scrivere codice, il (non) programmatore disegnerà visivamente i mattoncini base del programma che intende creare (esattamente come molti IDE avanzati permettono di fare con le più svariate tecnologie, dall’HTML, al Basic, al C), per poi dar loro vita mediante bottoni dalle funzionalità predefinite e associabili agli oggetti creati. http://lazio-side.it/attualita/news/google-app-inventor-sviluppo-facile-per-android.html
