What is this course about?

This course will guide you through using the Ionic framework to develop cross-platform applications that work across desktop, iOS, Android & Progressive Web Apps.

We’ll take you through working with the Ionic framework, starting with an overview of the individual products and services of the Ionic ecosystem and their underlying technologies before moving on to the different features of Ionic.

Later chapters will guide you through creating fully-fledged mobile apps and understanding how to submit those to both the Apple App and Google Play Stores.

If you are unfamiliar with Angular, the underlying framework that we will be using with Ionic, you might be surprised and a little overwhelmed at the syntax that is used. Rest assured, we’ll walk through this together so that you understand what is being covered and why it’s used. We promise that, before you know it, you’ll have no problem developing your own apps!
