Google is set to release a web-based application called App Inventor which will enable everyone to create and publish their own android apps. You can currently only watch videos/tutorials and request access on the App Inventor site, but it should open up for beta testing soon.
Google chose to use a visual editor to appeal to those with little or no understanding of programming, and it looks like they are targeting classroom learning to begin with. The true depth of App Inventor will soon be known, and I hope it appeals to everyone who wants to create an app but doesn’t quite know how.
This is one more reason why Google’s open source platform is gaining huge popularity. The people come first.
