Monday, August 3rd, 2009

Google has released a programming language which simplifies the process of creating applications for the Android platform. It is called Simple and built on the basis of the programming language BASIC.

Simple is based on sets of modules, which allow even non-professionals to program on Simple. However, this does not mean that Simple will not be interesting for professionals.

Google representatives have emphasized that the probability of occuring errors is higher when using Simple. Inexperienced users are encouraged to report them to Support Google. Experienced programmers can easily correct the errors.

T-mobile G1 cannot be called a “beauty”, but one won’t leave unnoticed its individuality. Its design is far from devices with similar form-factor.
