Learn to Build Your Own Mobile App with MIT App Inventor
UD6.205 | Day 1 | 10:30 - 12:00 | Speakers: Evan Patton, Jos
Abstract
In this hands on workshop, you will use MIT App Inventor to build two applications for your Android or iOS device. Those new to MIT App Inventor can have a simple first app up and running in less than 30 minutes. And what's more, our blocks-based tool facilitates the creation of complex, high-impact apps in significantly less time than traditional programming environments. The first app you create will be a cat you can pet to make meow. The second app will allow you to draw your own pictures via touch. Participants must bring both a laptop and a mobile device (phones and tablets are both good, running Android 4.0+ or iOS 12+).
Unless stated otherwise, FOSDEM Junior workshops are intended for children aged 7 to 17. Don't forget to bring your own laptop and a phone.

Evan is the lead developer for the MIT App Inventor project. He has been a developer of mobile apps since the first public iOS and Android frameworks became available.
