Google wants to simplify Android development with App Inventor

By Tim Quax on 12 july 2010

Google has released a new development environment for its Android platform. The tool enables non-developers to assemble an application without having much knowledge of programming at all.

App Inventor for Android is a modular webbased development tool. The tool, which will stay beta for now, has a simplified GUI which clearly targets people that don't really have much programming knowledge alltogether. So-called sensor-blocks enable the non-developers to include features such as the GPS-module. Google also supplies examples and pre-built code blocks, to make it even more user-friendly.

The webbased app-creating app uses the Java library OpenBlocks and compiles the apps using KAWA.
