Free Android Andrino App Download in Programming & Development Tag

Andrino is an interactive Javascript interpreter for Android devices. It was inspired by an article entitled Why Johnny Can’t Code by David Brin. In the article, Brin argues that Johnny can’t program because there are few to no tools simply and easily available to beginners. Of course the pros need heavy-duty tools to make modern software, but the kids need simple tools that do something interesting now because they don’t have 10 years of time or attention span to hike Abstraction Mountain. Andrino is an attempt to address this problem. It is a great way to practice beginning programming and Javascript. Never again will your kids need to fight for nought on long road trips. Give them something worthy of conflict.
