There is some indication that MIT "may" take over support, but until this becomes clear, I would advise everyone to avoid this book - you will not be able to use App Inventor. I suspect the publisher will have to reissue the book with corrections, if MIT provides support in the future, as most of the existing URLs will no longer work.
However I purchased it for Kindle on my Galaxy Note got as far as the chapter on setting up for Google App Inventor and was then directed to a page stating that it no longer exists. I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says it was taken offline on Dec 31 2011 and plans to return at some point early 2012 with a new site. Not much use to anyone wanting to read this book right now.
Such a shame, looks like a great book and I was looking forward to my first Tec book using kindle on my Note.
The claim of "no experience required! Read more
