App Builder?

How do I make an app? Is there an app builder out there, that can build it for you?

Well, to make an app (I don't know how to publish it), you can learn objective-c and use that, or learn HTML5 and use that. I'm not even sure you can publish HTML5 apps, but I know you can make web apps with it.

For android, the best place to go is the MIT App Inventor

In mobile safari you have he option to add a web page to the home screen, effectively an "app." With some other optimisations you can disable scrolling and capture multitouch input. You can't directly publish an HTML app, but you can wrap it in iOS's UIWebView function.

Technically, that's not an iOS app, although a few people use it if they don't want to buy a dev license.

The short version is no, there really aren't any app builders out there. The system for making iOS apps was designed so that not anyone can make an app on purpose.

I do not think that you need an Android to develop Android apps. You do need the knowledge of Java though.

Um, you can' make android apps without knowing Java
And learning it depends on the person

It's pretty hard to learn if you don't have any other programming experience other than Scratch. You should start out with something easier, like Python.

Re: App Builder?

Here is something for beginners, GameSalad. I think it does cost money, but if you go to iD Tech camps, then choose a course called iPhone and iPad Design 1, they use GameSalad.

I have (kind-of) a programming experience with squeak.

Is Java a little bit easier, or harder than Squeak...

Re: App Builder?

Java is a commercial, high-level programming language; the syntax is somewhat similar to that of the C languages. It's much harder than Squeak.

You can always use App Inventor, it's really epic.
