[support-gang] What Would I Need To Learn???

[Nicholas Doiron]

I hear good things about AppInventor

http://appinventor.mit.edu

I never learned to create apps because most of my projects are on the web.
Not the best solution for offline / developing world schools, but if you
get started with HTML, you then can develop a PhoneGap app to contain the
content offline.
