It might also be worth mentioning that this runs from a browser. If I am let into the Beta program I can tell you how this compares to regular Android development (fingers crossed).

No, what he was saying was that if it was made by Apple, I would be saying it was the best thing since sliced bread – because I’m “a fan boy”. That’s not an argument, it’s an insult. It’s not criticism, it’s pointlessly shouting “YOU SUCK”.

hey mate, i beg to differ. I think he did disagree with you. In fact, he said that if this was made by apple then “it would be the best thing since sliced bread” which in your opinion Google App Inventor wasnt so yea, learn to accept criticism or stop having guestbooks cheers.

Fizz, he didn’t agree or disagree with me: he just came along, threw in an insult, and went away again. That’s not commenting, debating, or arguing – it’s pissing on someone’s wall. It’s that kind of shitty, stupid behaviour that’s making many people turn off comments altogether, which spoils it for everyone else.

What’s wrong with it? It seems to be at the same level as most open source software and to be capable of making software of that level too.

Think, think, click, click…

Ooooh.

[...] “As someone who grew up on BASIC and actually did some serious projects back in the 80?s and 90?s using HyperCard, I’m massively in favour of simple, easy to use programming tools. So Google App Inventor instantly caught my attention. And then I saw it,” Betteridge writes. [...]

Mark, if you can’t add anything constructive, I suggest you don’t comment.

More boring Apple fanboy ranting. Lets be honest, if this were Apple releasing this, it would be the best thing since sliced bread.
