Blog 2 - First App

1) What kind of functions/commands did you learn how to do? 
I learned how to play a sound by using the press of a button. The program uses an if/when statement to determine whether or not to play the sound. If the button is pressed/clicked, the program enters the if statement and plays the sound. If the button is not clicked/pressed, the program doesn't enter the if statement and no sound is played.

2) How hard was it compared to what you expected? 
I thought it was about the difficulty i expected which was pretty easy. I found the coding part to be incredibly easy but the interface was a little difficult because I couldn't format everything the way I wanted to.

3) Did you run into any difficulties? What were they?
Yes I ran into two difficulties. The first one was formatting the screen properly which I still can't do. It doesn't affect the program or the app too much but it just doesn't allow the app to look nice. The second difficulty was getting my app onto the emulator, I couldn't figure out how to connect the app so I had to search google to fix that problem. 


4) How long did it take for you to complete the App?
It took me 10 mins to watch a video teaching me how to do basic things in app inventor, then about 10 mins total to finish the app. But it took me about 15 mins to figure out how to get the app onto the emulator.

5) Any other notes about what you learned or how your impression of App Inventor is changing
At first I thought that app inventor would be great but I don't like the way I can't format the screen the way I want. I'm sure there must be some way to do it but I can't find it so it's a bit annoying.
