Ionic is an open-source UI toolkit for building cross-platform applications using HTML, CSS, and TypeScript. Integrating with popular front-end frameworks like Angular, React, and Vue, Ionic empowers you to build rich user experiences that you can deploy on the web, mobile, or desktop. This course is a comprehensive introduction to the core products and services of Ionic, emphasizing CLI, CapacitorJS, and Stencil Web Components. You’ll build on this foundation by exploring UI components, core features of Typescript, Angular routing/navigation, theming, data storage, asynchronous data handling, the rxJS library, and much more. Also, you'll be exposed to various Ionic plug-ins and components before concluding with 4 case studies of real-world application development. By the end of this course, you'll be equipped to build cross-platform Ionic applications and submit them to the Apple App and Google Play stores, publish as Progressive Web Apps, or deliver via Electron desktop applications.
