Thanks for including us!

This is awesome.

Just to clarify, Youth APPLab is the name of our program and it is for middle and high school students in DC.

Thanks again!

Hi!

Just a note to let you know that I am teaching an intro to programming and logic course at Guilford Technical Community College (Jamestown, NC) using App Inventor and Python – I love App Inventor, and I think the students do too!

  Hi Rebecca. Thanks for the note and I’d like to put your course on the app inventor teacher map. Can you send me the URL to a pic of you?
  
  The combination of App Inventor and Python sounds great!
  
  Thanks,

We have just included App Inventor as a major component in our preparatory programming course. It was a hit with my students. I see great potential with this platform. Your book is excellent and is a badly needed resource.

All the Best
