Three fun projects walk you through basic coding skills using MIT's App Inventor -- a free, online programming tool that uses a simple block style language that makes coding easy to learn. No long chapters to read, and no homework -- just dive right in! You'll begin with a basic project that shows you how to make an app that works; next, you'll put those skills to work on a photo editing app that takes your skills to the next level. Finally, you'll level up one more time to become a Game Maker- that's right, you'll actually build a mobile game that you can send to your friends! Each project includes step-by-step directions and plenty of graphics to help you stay on track, and easy-to-read instructions help you complete each project frustration-free.
