Developing a Mobile Application UI with Ionic and Angular: How to Build Your First Mobile Application with Common Web Technologies

Do you want to create applications that can run on iPhones and Androids? Then you have come to the right place! The Ionic Framework supports a variety of mobile platforms. Throughout this series, I will cover the important aspects of development with Ionic, Angular, and TypeScript, going from no code all the way to the Apple App and Google Play Stores. This volume will cover the absolute basics: I will show you how to build a simple Ionic application. I will cover the application structure, explaining how an Ionic application is laid out. Next I will introduce some of Ionic's more useful UI components and create a basic side-menu for the demo application. Unlike many books that spend a lot of time on background, this one is designed to be fast paced, with a minimum of fuss and fluff. It is all hands-on.By the time you complete the series, you should have the confidence you need to create and deploy your own mobile app for iOS or Android. It will be a fast ride, so hang on.# Book Contents•Getting Started•Gentle Introduction to Angular•Your First Ionic App•Guided Tour of the Ionic-Angular Code•Customize the Code•A10Dance - The Demo App•Creating the New Project•Modifying the Home Page•Custom Students Service•Adding the Roster Page•Implementing a Student Roster•Adding Functionality to the Student Roster•User Confirmation and Notification•Basic Navigation Menu•Where to Go from Here?•Apply What You Have Learned•Appendix - Installing the Tools# Series Road MapThis is the first in what I plan to be a series of books on developing applications with Ionic and Angular. Book 1: Building a Mobile Application UI This book is all about building a user interface for a mobile application from scratch. It contains everything you need to go from nothing to a fully functional mobile app UI with Ionic Framework and Angular. Many of Ionic's basic UI components will be showcased:•Ion-card•Ion-item•Ion-button•Ion-icon•Ion-menu•Ion-alert•Ion-option-sliding•Ion-action-sheet•And MoreBook 2: Dealing with DataOnce the basic user interface is complete, it is time to work with data. How will the application accept, validate, and store user-provided input? This book will answer those questions. When the application functionality is completed, it still needs to be available to its potential users. The final section of this book will be a discussion around various hosting options. You will deploy the application as a Progressive Web Application, which can then be installed on any modern mobile device.Book 3: Devices and DeploymentSometimes, you need true hardware integration and installation. In this book, you will work with Capacitor, Ionic's solution for interfacing with the mobile hardware. The book will conclude by explaining and demonstrating how to prepare, build, and deploy the finished application to both the Apple and Google Play Stores.Sign up at https://walkingriver.com to receive advanced notice and occasional rough-draft content of new books in this series.
