商品描述

Create powerful Android apps the easy all-visual way with Google App Inventor using this book and eBook

  • All the basics of App Inventor in plain English with lots of illustrations
  • Learn how apps get created with lots of simple, fun examples
  • By an author with over 100 books, who keeps it entertaining, informative, and memorable. You'll be inventing apps from the first day

In Detail

The number of mobile apps has grown exponentially in the last two years. If you want to join the crowd, Google's App Inventor is the easiest and best tool for you to get started with. It is a tool to create Android phone apps and uses a graphical user interface, and drag and drop methods to create apps. It's so simple that anyone can build an app.

Learn how Google App Inventor eliminates the mystery around programming. It is a visual language, where we simply drag and drop blocks (graphic elements representing blocks of code) in various combinations to give us applications that run on our phones or other Android-based devices. No programming background is required. Playing with blocks has never been more fun!

The emphasis is on creating apps that work and that you understand fully. The first part of the book gives you a sound foundation in the basics, and lots of tips on how to use App Inventor. The second part is all about creating complete apps ready for real world use. The book includes apps that communicate, use databases to remember, surf the Web and other networks, use GPS and various sensors on your phone, and let you write or play games.

What you will learn from this book

  • Install App Inventor (did we mention it's free?), and use emulator and your phone as test devices.
  • Package apps, install them on your phone, share with friends, and publish them to Market and other places.
  • Design apps by choosing the right components and formatting the screens so that everything looks as good as it works!
  • Learn how the blocks click together and smoothly perform the tasks your app needs to accomplish, and understand which blocks do what.
  • Explore the advanced concepts of App Inventor, such as the ActivityStarter, which lets AI communicate with and manipulate other apps.
  • Create apps that email, text, tweet, use databases, find GPS coordinates, play games, and a great deal more!

Approach

This book is written in the Beginner's Guide format that takes the reader through a series of steps to build exciting apps using Google's App Inventor.

Who this book is written for

This book is perfect for people with little or no experience, not just Android developers. No matter your level of experience, you will find plenty of information that you can use to create powerful apps, apps that can be published on Android Market and other places.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

使用這本書和電子書,以Google App Inventor的簡單視覺方式輕鬆創建強大的Android應用程式。

- 以簡單易懂的英文介紹App Inventor的基礎知識,並附有大量插圖。
- 透過許多簡單有趣的例子,學習應用程式的創建過程。
- 作者擁有超過100本書的經驗,以有趣、資訊豐富且令人難忘的方式呈現內容。您將從第一天開始創造應用程式。

詳細內容:
在過去兩年中,移動應用程式的數量呈指數級增長。如果您想加入這個行列,Google的App Inventor是您入門的最簡單和最好的工具。它是一個用於創建Android手機應用程式的工具,使用圖形用戶界面和拖放方法來創建應用程式。它非常簡單,任何人都可以建立應用程式。

了解Google App Inventor如何消除編程的神秘感。它是一種視覺語言,我們只需將代表程式碼塊的圖形元素以各種組合拖放在一起,就可以為我們的手機或其他基於Android的設備創建運行的應用程式。不需要編程背景。玩樂塊從未如此有趣!

重點是創建運作正常且您完全理解的應用程式。本書的第一部分為您提供基礎知識的堅實基礎,並提供了許多有關如何使用App Inventor的技巧。第二部分則是關於創建完整應用程式以供實際使用的內容。本書包含了通信、使用數據庫記錄、瀏覽網絡和其他網絡、使用GPS和手機上的各種傳感器、以及撰寫或玩遊戲的應用程式。

本書將教您以下內容:
- 安裝App Inventor(我們提到它是免費的嗎?),並使用模擬器和手機作為測試設備。
- 打包應用程式,安裝到手機上,與朋友分享,並將其發布到市場和其他地方。
- 通過選擇合適的組件和格式化屏幕來設計應用程式,使一切看起來不僅好用,還好看!
- 了解塊如何點擊在一起並平滑執行應用程式需要完成的任務,並理解每個塊的功能。
- 探索App Inventor的高級概念,例如ActivityStarter,它可以讓AI與其他應用程式進行通信和操作。
- 創建可以發送電子郵件、短信、推文、使用數據庫、查找GPS坐標、玩遊戲等等的應用程式!

這本書以初學者指南的形式撰寫,帶領讀者進行一系列步驟,使用Google的App Inventor創建令人興奮的應用程式。

這本書適合沒有或很少經驗的人,不僅僅是Android開發人員。無論您的經驗水平如何,您都會找到大量可用於創建強大應用程式的信息,這些應用程式可以在Android Market和其他地方發布。
