I am having difficulty with some aspects of App Inventor... namely, documentation, tutorials etc. Really my problem is finding them,,,, I found a really good article on how to use "Any Components", but it was through a link in one of any number of articles I was searching through on that subject matter. Is There a compilation of tutorials somewhere.... ?? I cannot find that article for love nor money!!
thanks in advance
Welcome Charley!
Any Components are described here http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/other/any-component-blocks.html . Is that what you are looking for?
Here are some resources to help you learn to use the AI2 tools. A very good way to learn App Inventor is to read the free Inventor's Manual here in the AI2 free online eBook http://www.appinventor.org/book2 ... the links are at the bottom of the Web page. The book 'teaches' users how to program with AI2 blocks.
There is a free programming course here http://www.appinventor.org/content/CourseInABox/Intro and the aia files for the projects in the book are here: http://www.appinventor.org/bookFiles
How to do a lot of basic things with App Inventor are described here: http://www.appinventor.org/content/howDoYou/eventHandling .
Also look here http://kio4.com/appinventor/index.htm and here http://www.imagnity.com/tutorial-index/ for more tutorials.
Learn about components http://ai2.appinventor.mit.edu/reference/components/
and visit the Library http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/library for more links to tutorials and documentation.
Just try some blocks and have fun.
Regards,
Steve
