Welcome to my App Inventor Web Pages

App Inventor, a Web based program, is a Smartphone App development environment which you can use to define almost any kind of App via your Browser (Firefox or Chrome). It has a very nice GUI and you create code via simple drag and drop of Code 'Blocks'. It is free to use and whatever you create is yours, royalty free. App Inventor was originally the work of Google. For some time now it has been MIT's baby (Massachusetts Institute of Technology). It's both a great way to learn to code and to actually build Apps that you can distribute.

App Inventor is popular! Over 1 million unique active users per month, across 195 countries, have created a total of over 100 million Projects as of February 2024.

My pages about App Inventor and related things such as microcontrollers are full of useful links, tips, charts, free code snippets and plenty of good guidance. Hope you find them useful!
