App Inventor

I'm going to start this by assuming that you have heard about the android operation system and I'm going to further assume that you've heard about apps.  All of that assumption leads me to the hope that news that The Android App Inventor is now available for download might stir some interest in budding developers that don't strictly speaking want to learn to code.

Right now it's just a source download and you have to install and configure it on a linux or mac system to run it. I'm thinking that this either needs to be deployed as a virtual appliance (hello vmware!) or I have a Pogo Plug I plan on running Arch Linux that I could build the source on.  Anyone have more than passing interest in this?  I hate coding, but Android is fun and it would be supper sweet to have develop applications for managing your home.

  1. That's seriously cool, I think there's a lot of people with ideas for apps but don't have the knowledge to make them.

    But I have no time for such hobbies. :(

  4. Nice idea but I bet that only a small percentage of the apps will be really useful since they will mostly be made by amateurs.
