Interesting concept. I especially like that you've made it a little bit more fun, which could make it more accessible. If I'm not mistaken, these are bite-size tutorials? Will it lead eventually to a finished program? Building something that worked and was function/moderately useful was what perked my interest to dive further into development.

Thanks! Accessibility is still a big issue and I think that, yes, bite-size tutorials like ours are a great way to lower the "barriers to entry" - especially for non-technical people. The relatively small screen size of phones has an impact on the functionality of the programs we can show in Javvy but we're getting there!
I teach a beginning Java course at the university. I told my students to install your app... Apparently it's not free after a point... if you need testers, I have 40 students that are available.
