MIT opened Google App Inventor in beta

About two years ago, the search giant launched the Google App Inventor tool, which allows “people not familiar with programming” to write programs for Android using the system of visual design of the application interface and the logic of its operation. In other words, the interface could be created “as in Delphi”, and the logic of the code should be described by placing the visual blocks approximately as follows:

However, due to the lack of interest in Google App Inventor, the company closed the project a little over a year later, released its code under the Apache license, and transferred it to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to create a full-fledged App Inventor server for public use. This initiative is now part of the framework of the MIT Mobile Learning Center for the purpose of learning computer literacy using non-technical methods.

MIT did not take a long time to wait and brought the project back to life by launching its public beta version, which you can try here - a Google account is required to access the system.
