Im new to App building, really love Buzztouch... I was very excited to get my first Android up and running for a Corporate Informational App. trying to figure out how to make others pay for my hobby. My question: is Python useful in developing apps? I searched the forum and found no related topics. Sounds like its not, unless it on a custom HTML page you link your app to. Speaking of HTML, If I point to a custom HTML page in my App, and it points to a HTML5 page, will it work without any restrictions? (save browser size of course). I'm not sure if there are limitations on the native app browser for Android, or iOS for that matter. Thanks, Led Title Comments Im new to App building, really love Buzztouch...

A number of app development frameworks use it, human.io springs to mind. Comments Python - a programming language, not a webpage markup language.

So, it's not like Javascript or jQuery that can be executed client side, but it has to have a backend to talk to. So, not super useful in our app building. PHP is much more so.

I know there are platforms that enable you to use Python to build iOS apps (IDK about android), and yes there are a kagillion HTML/CSS/Javascript platforms that you can use to build iOS apps as well. The real question is "what app are you building"/"What Control do you need", "what do you already know" and "how much are you willing to learn"? Comments As far as python goes, yes and no.

I need python for a separate project I'm working on ( not app related), was hoping to be able to utilize the learning benefits. Have worked with HTML, but very limited java. Thanks again all. –Led Comments Thank you all for your feedback. Looks like my time would be best spent learning HTML and java.
