FAQ Mengenai Transisi App Inventor ke MIT











Seperti yang telah konfirmasikan oleh google mengenai App Inventor bahwa  App Inventor akan di jadikan Open Source, dan dimanage oleh MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology - Mobile Learning Center Departemen), maka mulai tgl 1 Januari 2012 situs http://www.appinventorbeta.com  akan dishutdown oleh google. 

Salah satu alasan mengapa App Inventor di jadikan open source dan dihandle oleh MIT adalah Google berharap App Inventor lebih bisa didaya gunakan untuk pendidikan. Dan tentunya kapasitas MIT dalam hal ini tidak diragukan lagi, selain itu tentunya dengan menjadikan open source maka perkembangan App Inventor akan semakin cepat.


Dan FAQ mengenai hal itu bisa dilihat di  http://appinventoredu.mit.edu  seperti yang telah di copy dibawah ini, dan beberapa hal penting yang perlu diketahui adalah :

  1. 1. MIT merencakan untuk membuka kembali layanan seperti pada http://www.appinventorbeta.com  sekitar antara quarter pertama 2012, yang update beritanya bisa diakses di MIT App Inventor Developer's Blog.
  2. 2. Pada masa periode sebelum layanan itu siap, MIT menyediakan semacam aplikasi (JAR) kita bisa setup server sendiri di Google App Enggine bisa dilihat disini http://appinventoredu.mit.edu/ (Semoga ada waktu untuk mencobanya, dan berbagi pengalaman)
  3. 3. Mengenai hal-hal lain, untuk mendapatkan update beritanya bisa mengikuti App Inventor Forums

Semoga layanan App Inventor di MIT tidak lama lagi siap, karena banyak informasi yang menyenangkan dari  Forum App Inventor , seperti misalnya sudah dibuatnya fitur multiple page ( Yg berarti App Inventor sudah mendukung lebih dari satu halaman aplikasi layaknya aplikasi yg dibuat dengan native coding ). Juga fitur-fitur lainnya, yang akan menjadikan App Inventor semakin menarik untuk dipelajari.



Welcome 2012, Selamat datang harapan-harapan baru, dan semangat baru untuk lebih kreatif dan inovatif. 



OK, .. Happy Inventing, .... Apabila ada berita penting lainya, InsyaAllah akan di Up-Date

FAQ for App Inventor Transition to MIT


Please check the Google App Inventor Announcement Forum and the MIT App Inventor Developer's Blog for the latest developments on App Inventor’s transition to MIT.
Current as of: 12/1/2011

When will the Google App Inventor service shut down?

Google support of App Inventor will end on December 31, 2011.

When will the public MIT App Inventor service be available?

We MIT anticipate the public instance of App Inventor will be available for the general public to access some time in the first quarter of 2012.

How can I learn about progress on the MIT public service?

We will provide periodic updates on the MIT service at the MIT App Inventor Developer's Blog.

Will my current App Inventor projects transfer automatically to the MIT service?

No, legally Google is not allowed to give your project data to MIT. You will need to download your projects to your computer and upload them to the MIT service when it becomes available.

What do I need to do to preserve my projects when the Google service shuts down?

You will need to download your projects to your computer. The "Download all projects" button will create a zip
file of all your projects. Unzipping that will produce a folder with all your projects (each project itself
is a zip file) and you can upload them individually to a new App Inventor service when it becomes available.

Will my current Google projects run on the MIT public service?

Yes. The MIT instance of App Inventor will run almost exactly like the Google version.

How can I use App Inventor before the public MIT service becomes available?

MIT recognizes that many people would like to use App Inventor in the interim period between the end of 2011 until
the MIT public App Inventor becomes available. To help during this interim period, we are providing experimental Java Archive (JAR) files that experienced programmers can use to set up a private instance of App Inventor on Google App Engine, for use by small groups. Details on how to take advantage of this are posted on the MIT App Inventor Developer's Blog. Additionally, a JAR file users group has been set up to help people get started with the files.

How can I teach a course using App Inventor before the MIT service becomes available if I am unable to run my own App Engine service?

You’ll need to get help from someone who can run an App Engine service and deploy the MIT JAR code for you. Until the public instance of App Inventor is running at MIT, the only way to use App Inventor will be to run an individual instance of App Inventor on App Engine or find someone who can run one for you. The JAR file users group would be a good place to ask for this kind of help.

I’d like to help test the new service. What can I do?

MIT will start running an experimental App Inventor service before the end of 2011, and we’ll gradually invite increasing numbers of people as testers. Please stay tuned to the App Inventor Forums as well as the MIT App Inventor Developer's Blog for more details on when that system will be launched. We will make an announcement there when we’re ready to accept volunteers.

When will Google make the open source code of App Inventor available publicly?

Google will share the open source code for App Inventor with the world before the end of 2011. Please stay tuned to the App Inventor Forums to learn more.

Does MIT plan on establishing an open source project around App Inventor?

Yes, but our highest priority is to get an instance of App Inventor running for general public use. Once we have a stable version of App Inventor running, we’ll begin the process of setting up an open source project that people can contribute to. We expect this to happen in the spring of 2012.http://appinventoredu.mit.edu
