Are you one of the many Google Android smartphone users who wishes could create an Android application but can’t do it because you are not a developer? Well, that’s ok because it seems that you’ll be able to do exactly that from this Monday with the App Inventor for Android.

I thought the application was going to be available sometime next week but according to the New York Times, the application will be available this Monday, 12th July.

As the App Inventor site says, to use App Inventor, you do not need to be a developer. App Inventor requires NO programming knowledge. This is because instead of writing code, you visually design the way the app looks and use blocks to specify the app’s behavior. So basically you will just drag and drop features to your project and done.

You can build just about any app you can imagine with App Inventor. Often people begin by building games like WhackAMole or games that let you draw funny pictures on your friend’s faces. You can even make use of the phone’s sensors to move a ball through a maze based on tilting the phone.

But app building is not limited to simple games. You can also build apps that inform and educate. You can create a quiz app to help you and your classmates study for a test. With Android’s text-to-speech capabilities, you can even have the phone ask the questions aloud.
