I like to comment on all Codecademy posts this fact: I learned to code on Codecademy for 3 months, then 3 months of trial and error projects on my own. 18 months after writing my first line of code, I run my own successful consulting business and have launched web and mobile products with over a million users and over 100,000 downloads.

I've been lucky and surrounded by great people, but y'all if you're non technical, make the pledge to end that today. You can. I did. There's no downside.

While you're waiting, you could look at <a href="http://appinventor.mit.edu">App Inventor</a>; it's also targeted at beginners, but lets you build at least simple apps.

From the article: "The goal is to create a product that is platform-agnostic, Sims said, citing Duolingo as an ed-tech company that has succeeded in that regard."

I'm sure it's coming.

if what you are looking for is just a simple coding app, I built one

http://jasymca.holoklip.com,

it is also in the play app store http://bit.ly/18xVoWX

It uses the Jasymca (google it) CAS program.
