A follow up to my earlier post asking about interest in other programming languages.
How about JavaScript? JavaScript is widely used in web development, can be programmed with a text editor and tested with a browser – you do not need to download and install development software.
Another plus, if you do choose to download an Integrated Development Environment, you can then package your JavaScript apps within PhoneGap and run them on Android and iOS devices. Thus, JavaScript is another way to write apps for Android (and iOS) that goes beyond App Inventor.
My thinking is this topic could be of interest to those wishing to leverage their App Inventor programming on to other types of programming. The idea would be to create tutorials that leverage what you know about App Inventor (hopefully!) and translate that into JavaScript.
For now, this is just an idea. Looking for feedback!
