App Lab is, as the name suggests, a tool for creating mobile (web) apps. It was created by Code.org to support introductory CS classes like CS Principles and CS Discoveries. Students can program apps in Javascript or drag-and-drop blocks, switching between as they like, and visual UI elements can easily be added with a wysiwyg editor. There’s even a built-in database tool for building data backed apps! App Lab is the primary programming enviornment for all of the projects in Creative Coding.
