This uniquely comprehensive book teaches through hands-on examples and detailed walkthroughs covering the entire development process. After installing and setting up their App Inventor environments, readers will learn how to build apps that incorporate audio, video, data storage, graphics, animation, phone features, SMS and email messaging, voice recognition and output, data exchange via web services, cameras, GPS navigation, sensory inputs, and more.
