Visual programming environment for mobile device applications

摘要

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for creating mobile device applications using a visual programming integrated development environment (IDE). In one aspect, a method includes receiving, by a visual programming IDE, one or more user inputs entered by a user through a visual programming interface at a first client device, where the one or more user inputs collectively select and arrange components that define an application, and where at least one of the components accesses functionality that is specific to mobile devices, generating, by the visual programming IDE, executable code that implements the application defined by the one or more user inputs, and providing, by the visual programming IDE, the executable code to a second client device.
