Learning MIT App Inventor (Addison Wesley)
Friday, 26 December 2014

Subtitled "A Hands-on Guide to Building Your Own Android Apps" this complete tutorial has been written from the ground up for MIT's dramatically updated Version 2. Derek Walter and Mark Sherman guide you step-by-step through every task and feature, showing you how to create apps by dragging, dropping, and connecting puzzle pieces rather than by writing code. As you learn, you’ll also master expert design and development techniques you can build on if you ever do want to write code. Through hands-on projects, you’ll master features ranging from GPS to animation, build high-quality user interfaces, make everything work, and test it all with App Inventor’s emulator.
