Ionic is an open source, front-end framework for building hybrid mobile apps with HTML5. Using the Ionic framework, you can combine PhoneGap and AngularJS—the hottest web MVC framework around for building fast, testable web applications—to create cross-platform apps using standard web development tools like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Troy Miles introduces you to the Ionic framework and discusses how to use it with AngularJS. Participants will build a simple, full-featured application that offers a great overview of Ionic's key features. You will run the app on the Genymotion Android emulator, so you won't need a smartphone for testing. Learn how to debug the app in two different ways. The first: Run it as a web app and use the tools of the Chrome browser. The second: Run the app on the emulated device and use Chrome's remote debugging capabilities. Leave with the knowledge and tools you need to develop enterprise-ready cross-platform mobile apps with Ionic.
