I want to develop Android Apps – What languages should I learn?

July 29, 2016

G Suite is quite literally a suite of Google’s apps, which is particularly useful for businesses. For as low as five dollars a month, you can get professional business email addresses, cloud storage, data migration, online help, etc. And now, Google has added some cool new features to it: App Maker and new partners under “Recommended for G Suite.”

Let’s get to the exciting part first – the all new App Maker. As you can see from the video above, App Maker is essentially an application development tool that doesn’t require heavy coding. It offers built-in templates and supports popular standards like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript so that you can create a complete app within weeks. Simple and fast.

As Google describes, App Maker has built-in support for G Suite products like Maps, Contacts, and Groups. It also gives you access to other Google Cloud services such as the Directory API and Prediction API as well as third-party APIs. In terms of security, App Maker is built on the same infrastructure as popular Google apps like Gmail or Drive, meaning it is secure.

Whatever your business needs may be, simply drag and drop and do some simple coding, and you have a fully functioning app. For someone like me, who has very limited knowledge of coding, App Maker might be the perfect tool for creating apps in a fairly straightforward and efficient manner.

Google’s App Maker is available for those enrolled in the Early Adopter Program for G Suite Business. If you are not yet enrolled, you can go here to apply.

On top of that, Google has added seven new apps to the Recommended for G Suite program, which lets you use third party apps to manage aspects of your business on G Suite. The new ones are:

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
