DEVELOPING AN APP


        There are many open source app development software available. They help us to develop an app.

        While developing an app we should keep some points in mind:

             The idea of developing an app should be unique.
             The app we are going to develop should contain all the relevant features.


             The app should be user friendly.
        Let us create a mobile app with the help of a freeware software provided by Google called App Inventor.

        With the help of App Inventor, we can create apps.

        App Inventor

        App Inventor is a free app development tool, provided by Google. With the help of App Inventor, we
        can create apps for smart phones. The working of App Inventor is similar to Scratch programming
        language in which we drag and drop blocks for making an app. App Inventor has two basic views:

            The Design View: This view contains all the components required to design an application.

            The Block Editor View: This view is the place where we combine blocks to execute an application.

        Setting up App Inventor


        For setting up the App Inventor, we should have a Gmail account. To create an app using App Inventor,
        follow the given steps:


                                                    Type URL: https://
                                                    appinventor.mit.
                                                    edu/ and press      1
                                                    Enter key.
