Two years ago, July of 2010, Google launched a new app development platform called Google App Inventor. The technology was far ahead of any other app development platform because it was powerful yet simple to navigate and allowed it's users to create their very own Android apps without any knowledge of web source code. Although the Google App Inventor was far ahead of it's time, Google suddenly lost interest in the project. They decided to turn their interests elsewhere in their business but knew that what they had was important enough to maintain. They decided to leave the project open-source which allowed anyone with enough innovation, technological knowledge and drive to tackle the project in collaboration with Google.
Two years later, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology [MIT] decided to tackle the open-source project. Google in turn fueled MIT's vigor with plenty of money allowing MIT to create the MIT Center for Mobile Learning and also to re-work the Google App Inventor code. They also renamed it a more appropriate name, the MIT App Inventor.
