This book offers basic lessons in Android development, designed specifically for kids. Author Sarah Guthal walks you (or a child aged 7-11, the intended audience) through three fun projects that use basic coding skills using MIT′s App Inventor. This is a free, online programming tool that uses a simple block style language that makes coding easy to learn.

The book starts with a basic project that shows how to make an app that works, before moving on to a photo editing app that takes the coding skills to the next level. The final project is to build a mobile game. Each project includes step–by–step directions, plenty of graphics, and easy–to–read instructions.
