MIT App Inventor 2 Advanced course

App inventor has made it much easier to create apps for people like you and me.

But, let me ask you a question, Is App Inventor helping you to create any app that you want?

I know your answer

It’s a clear No!!

And the reason is its limited features

No wonder! Even I used to feel the same until I did not know about the potential Web API component.

But, once I have started to use it, It has opened an internet full of features for my app. Now I can include data from Youtube, Facebook, use apps like Google translate, Microsoft emotion recogniser etc.

So, my app can literally have features from other apps. I can ask Google Translate to translate a sentence for my app user, I can ask Microsoft emotion recognizer to find the emotion of a person in the image and much more. 

I have put all the information about using API in this advanced training course.

You will learn everything by doing i.e; by creating an app. For instance, we will create a translator app using Google translator API. You will create an app that will

• Translate the text
• Save the translations into history
• Allows the user to use his voice to translate (using speech recogniser)
• Translate the text into more than 100 languages
• Voice to Voice translation (using which two people who talk in different languages can have a conversation with each other)

Following are a few of the benefits:

• Add so many amazing features to your app using APIs
• Add search functionality to your app using Lists
• Create a design that hooks your app user.

What you’ll learn

• You will learn how to use blockly programming for developing an android app
• You will gain a good understanding of using platforms like ai2 app inventor, thunkable, appy builder and other similar platforms
• You will learn how to use google cloud console to create a google translate API key
• You will learn about designing and debugging the app
