So is Google now going to have a toy-app contest, like they did originally for real Android apps?
Jokes aside, I guess I'm a bit skeptical about these pseudo-developement envirnoments. It's a nice concept to demo but does it realy have any practical applications in real world? I mean, really practical, something that people create not just because they can, but because they need it.
- talbina 16y agoWhat's wrong with creating things just because you can? I remember two decades ago when I used to program using QBASIC as a 6 year old. I didn't need any of the applications I made - but it sure looked like fun. This new Google initiative might not be about general masses, but more aimed at helping children with their creative processes.
- k7d 16y agoI didn't mean it's wrong to create things just because you can. I do it all the time, and learned pretty much everything I know this way. Totally agree it's a great thing for educational purposes, I was just questioning if it can be considered as something more than an educational tool.
