Summary of 'Appinventor: Easy android applications'
---------------------------------------------------

AppInventor, a Google project, is a visual programming environment for
developing applications for Android devices.

It has been around for about a year, and has been most enthusiastically
adopted as a programming education tool.

I'm going to do a demonstration of using AppInventor to create a tiny
Android App, including all of the setup you will need to do on your current
Linux system to use it. I'll also discuss the changes that are happening
within the AppInventor ecosystem.

This talk is suitable for people who are looking for a way to introduce
non-programmers to programming on Android, or for those interested in
visual programming. It will NOT be an overly technical talk, so I would
encourage you to bring your favorite novice along.


Pre meeting food
----------------

Please join us informally for a bite to eat at Panera Bread before the
meeting, around 5:30 P.M.  Panera is in the 29th street mall, east of
Highway 36/28th street near Walnut.
