Beginning Ionic for iOS and Android Development

Ionic is one of the leading frameworks to develop mobile apps and Progressive Web Apps in HTML5. Ionic is especially useful if you are familiar with web development HTML, CSS, JavaScript and would like to build mobile apps, but don't fancy having to learn Objective C and/or Swift for iOS, Java for Android, etc.

In this book, we take you on a fun, hands-on and pragmatic journey to master Ionic. You'll start building Ionic apps within minutes. Every section is written in a bite-sized manner and straight to the point as I don’t want to waste your time (and most certainly mine) on the content you don't need. In the end, you will have what it takes to develop a real-life mobile app using Ionic.
