Introduction

Course learning outcomes

This course will cover the absolute basics of the Ionic framework. We will learn how to build a simple Ionic application. We will cover the application structure by explaining how an Ionic application is laid out and organized.

You will be introduced to some of Ionic’s more useful UI components and create a basic side-menu for the demo application.

Unlike many courses that spend a lot of time on the background, this one is designed to be fast-paced, with a minimum of fuss and fluff. It is fully hands-on.

By the time you complete the course, you should have the confidence you need to create and deploy your own mobile app for iOS or Android.

Prerequisites

You should have some basic understanding of web development. For example, you should know what a <div> is and be able to create a button on a web page. You should have a decent grasp of JavaScript, but you do not need to be a master.

Prior experience with React or the Ionic Framework is not expected, but it can’t hurt to have it. To be clear, this is not a course on React. While the basic aspects of React as they pertain to Ionic will be pointed out, I will not go any deeper than I must to make the demo application work.

Concepts will be explained as needed.

It will be a fast ride, so let’s get started!
