[Yr7-10it] mobile apps

Wed Mar 28 12:59:21 EST 2012

I think Flashbuilder is the best product for cross platform mobile development by a long way. Is it suitable for beginners? Well maybe not but you will find some tutorials on it. 

I am not sure if running a course on drag-drop mobile app development  is going to be that useful, especially  If it doesnt connect well to VCE then I can see this being a problem.

I like the look of flash builder.
Is there a good source of documents and tutorials that can be assembled and maybe a scope or sequence.
Would like to look at a unit for next year once we have got the iPad implementation sorted.

Hi,

I plan to run App Inventor and Android SDK (just placing controls on the emulator and getting them to work).
I am using Windows. You will strugle to get App Inventor to work with more complicated tasks that some students will want to do.

App Inventor is a great introduction to mobile apps.

To do iphone apps , I have only seen Flashbuilder do this on Windows but I think there is some others. In the future you will probably see products that easily convert from one platform to another.

gday Andrew.
Are you running your app stuff on a mac or pc platform? I've put off until either later term 2 or for term3 for this as a unit with my middle school group. Had some delays on our migration to Win7 and our implementation of the whole school to iPADs so the next topic will be on VB.NET .

Keep me in the loop on your APP stuff Andrew. I am presently still slowly learning the X-CODE/Objective-C stuff ...

Kent.

We have got app inventor for dag and drop android apps.
WE have also got android SDK/eclipse  and flashbuilder.

I dont like using programming software with little help on the internet.

I am running an after-school APP club. I use Corona SDK, a programming framework that uses the Lua scripting language. The code can then be built for Android and iOS. You can also scale APPs in such a way as to support tablets, including the Kindle Fire and Nook Color. Soon, they promise to allow releases for Mac OS.
Corona SDK is not a household name but many high profile APPs, especially games, have been written in it. As an example, the APP released to promote the Lorax movie.

Stencyl seems to be a worthwhile drag and drop tool to look at, as it looks a lot like Scratch and you can release the APP for multiple platforms.
