Sure, building a table is a two hour job for an experienced wood-worker.
If a grade 7 student can make an app by
- Describing what they want it to do
- Copy/pasting some code
- And running it.
That's a leap forward in my books.
The first barrier to making apps has been the time involved in to learn the syntax, if that's gone in the first days of this app, what's next? Do we teach how to write code anymore, or just to read and understand it?
