Hi 

I am having similar problem - Block Editor fails to load.  Also, the website is not very reliable. On few instances, it has failed to log me in. 

Thanks,
Jayanti

Hi All,



I have not made it that far with App inventor, but did buy a book about it
at Dymocks. Great intentions.



Have been out of the loop so need to know...  Is App inventor an acceptable
SD programming environment/language next year? OR shall I stick to learning
Java (NetBeans) with an android SDK bolted on?



Cheers

hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had experienced any issues using app inventor (
http://www.appinventor.mit.edu/ )

over a school network ie via proxy server.

It works beautifully at home, but the Blocks editor fails to load the
project at school.

Any ideas?

thanks

Hi Xin,

I don't have teaching experience with Java, but with regards to Gamemaker, a
few places to start

.         Nat Brawshaws tutorials - available from Vitta

.         The GameMakers Apprentice - some good bookstores, or Amazon

.         The official tutorails http://sandbox.yoyogames.com/make/tutorials
- my groups have usually done the first 4 in a term and then design their
own game based on a combination of those.

Hope this helps

Regards

Damien

Hi folks,



                At 154 pages it's a bit of a slog, but it's worth a glance
over and/or the executive summary at least
