My First Android App

Jim Lawless
Several months ago, as the “year of learning to code” was getting underway, I wondered what it would be like to have a JavaScript REPL available for my mobile device. I figured that I could build my own mobile app using the PhoneGap framework that would simply expose a large textarea that could be eval()‘ed at the tap of a button. I bought an older Android tablet to prove the concept.
