Ionic Framework By Example

By: Sani Yusuf

Overview of this book

Change doesn’t have to be challenging. Sometimes it can be simple – sometimes it just makes sense. With Ionic, mobile development has never been so simple, so elegant and obvious. By helping developers to harness AngularJS and HTML5 for mobile development, it’s the perfect framework for anyone obsessed with performance, and anyone that understands just how important a great user experience really is. This book shows you how to get started with Ionic framework immediately. But it doesn’t just give you instructions and then expect you to follow them. Instead it demonstrates what Ionic is capable of through three practical projects you can follow and build yourself. From a basic to-do list app, a London tourist app, to a complete social media app, all three projects have been designed to help you learn Ionic at its very best. From setting up your project to developing on both the server side and front end, and best practices for testing and debugging your projects, you’ll quickly become a better mobile developer, delivering high performance mobile apps that look awesome. Ionic Framework by Example is for people who don’t want to learn now, build later – it’s for people who want to learn and build at the same time – so they can meet today’s mobile development challenges head on and deliver better products than anyone else.

Summary


In this chapter, we started off by getting to know a bit of background about mobile applications in general. We learned how native mobile applications work, how they are built with native SDKs, and how each platform is built with a completely different set of tools without any resource sharing between them all. We then went ahead and discussed briefly about Apache Cordova and how it aimed to solve the problem of cross-platform development.

We then discussed exactly what Ionic means and what problems it aims to solve. We also got to discuss the CSS, JS, and Ionic CLI features of the Ionic framework lightly.

In the next chapter, we will be creating our very first Ionic application with the Ionic CLI, and we will create a nice to-do list style application with some great Ionic features.
