[Yr7-10it] mobile apps

Wed Mar 28 10:49:53 EST 2012

I was going to have a play in the holidays with http://www.redfoundry.com
for creating mobile apps for apple products since we have ipads on offer
next term.  One of our teachers last year had success with this product -
has anyone else used it?

Whilst I haven't used it myself, iStencyl looks great for those who are
looking for a drag and drop environment to develop iOS APPs. They are
promising to support Android soon.
Take a look here: http://www.stencyl.com/istencyl/
