Last year I began dabbling in Android programming. Just for fun and only as time permitted so....not a lot. I did manage to find time enough to run across Basic4Android (B4A), a visual IDE and language similar to VB.Net. Though not overly advanced, B4A was inexpensive to get into and much easier to set up and churn out a first app than Android Java + Eclipse.
This week B4A took a big step forward by adding support for classes and, therefore, objects -- the fundamental requirement for object oriented programming (OOP). Suddenly B4A is looking a lot more attractive for serious app development...
