Follow the instructions at How to Update the App Inventor Setup Software. Download the installer. Locate the file MITAppinventorTools2.3.0 (80 MB) in your Downloads file or your Desktop.

Installing the Windows software for App Inventor Setup has two parts:

1. Installing the App Inventor Setup software package. This step is the same for all Android devices, and the same for Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
2. If you choose to use the USB cable in step 4, then you'll need to install Windows drivers for your Android phone. This is not necessary if you choose to use WiFi in step 4.

Installing the App Inventor Setup software package

We recommend that you perform the installation from an account that has administrator privileges. This will install the software for all users of the machine. If you do not have administrator privileges, the installation should still work, but App Inventor will be usable only from the account you used when you installed.

1. Download the installer.
2. Locate the file AppInventor_Setup_Installer_v_1_2.exe (~92 MB) in your Downloads file or your Desktop. The location of the download on your computer depends on how your browser is configured.
3. Open the file.
4. Click through the steps of the installer. Do not change the installation location but record the installation directory, because you might need it to check the driver. The directory will differ depending on your version of Windows and whether or not you are logged in as an administrator.

In most cases, App Inventor should be able to locate the Setup software on its own. But if it asks for the location of the software, the path to enter is C:Program FilesAppinventorcommands-for-Appinventor. If you are using a 64-bit machine, you should type Program Files (x86) rather than Program Files. Also, if you did not install the software as an administrator, it was installed in your local directory rather than in C:Program Files. You'll need to search for it to find the correct pathname.

Cloud Computing

from a software user's perspective: You use software that you don't download, and your data lives on a server somewhere. Typically you don't need to 'Save' anything. You can get to your data from anywhere.

from a programmer's perspective: You create software then deploy it at Google (App Engine), Amazon (Elastic Computing Cloud) or some other service. You don't need to buy servers (computers) to run your software, you pay the cloud service based on resources used.

1. What is Client-Server software? Who is the client? Who is the server?

2. What cloud software do you use? What cloud tools are used for word processing? What is iCloud? What is Dropbox?

3. How does cloud computing enable more collaboration?

4. Is your information more secure in the cloud or on your computer?

5. Where is all this 'cloud' data stored?

6. From a programmer's perspective, how does cloud computing spur innovation?

In a team of two, create your own TinyWebDB web service. Use a laptop as its easier on Mac/Windows than Linux.

• Download App Engine for Python for your computer type. After installing it, run the GoogleAppEngineLauncher by clicking its icon.
• Download this sample web database code. It is a zip file containing the source code for your custom web database service
• Unzip the downloaded zip file. It will create a folder named appinventordb. You can rename it if you want.
• In the GoogleAppEngineLauncher, choose File | Add Existing Application. Browse to set the Path to the appinventordb folder you just unzipped. Then click the Run button. This will launch a test web service that runs on your local machine.
• You can test the service by opening a browser and entering “localhost:8080″ as the URL. You’ll see the web page interface to your web service, it should look like the default TinyWebDB web service you've used.
  
• So far your app is running locally and not yet on the web, and thus it is not yet accessible to an App Inventor app. To get it there, you need to upload it to Google’s App Engine servers.
• In the GoogleAppEngineLauncher, choose Dashboard. Enter your Google account information and you’ll be taken to an App Engine dashboard in a browser.
  
• Choose 'Create an Application'. You’ll need to specify a globally unique name (Application Identifier) for your app. Remember what you enter as you’ll need it later. Provide a name to your app and click Create Application to submit. If all is well, you now have a new, empty app on Google’s servers.
• Open a text editor on your local computer and open the file app.yaml within the appinventordb folder you unzipped. Modify the first line so that the application name matches the application identifier you set at Google.
• In GoogleAppEngineLauncher, choose Deploy and follow the steps for deploying your app.
• Test to see if your app is running on the web. In a browser, enter myapp.appspot.com, only substitute your application identifier for “myapp”. The app should look the same as when you ran it on the local test server. Only now, it’s on the web and you can access it from your App Inventor for Android app.

App Inventor Client Apps

Once you have created your TinyWebDB Web Service at appspot, you can create App Inventor apps that access it. Take a TinyWebDB app you've created, e.g., your shared music app, and do the following:

Google Earth App For Mac

• Modify the ServiceURL property from the default http://appinvtinywebdb.appspot.com/ to the URL of your service.
• Run the app and verify that items are being stored at and retrieved from your web service
