Do you wanna build Android Apps? Don'h have programming background ? Google has launched Android App Inventor, which is a great web based tool to easily develop Android apps with no programming skills required. This tool was the idea of Prof. Hal Abelson from MIT and Google took the step to build it.
App Inventor has a Designer environment and a Block Editor environment. Using the Designer environment, one can simply drag and drop the UI elements on to the screen and design the app. Images, media files, different UI elements and controls can be added the screen by simple drag and drops.
The Block Editor is the place where one can bind the logical actions to be taken on the screen, for example the action to be taken after clicking a button. This doesn't require an programming knowledge. Once the blocks are connected, the app can be run on a connected Android phone / an emulator.
App Inventor - Definitely worth trying.....to learn more about the limitations and scalability, visit the App Inventor site in the Google labs.
