Developing Mobile Apps with Ionic Framework - React Edition (DRM-Free eBook)

Learn to Build Mobile Apps!

The Ionic Framework makes it easy

The Ionic Framework supports a variety of mobile platforms. Throughout this book, I will cover the important aspects of development with Ionic and React, going from the initial idea all the way to the Apple App and Google Play Stores.

How the Book is Structured

This book is a consolidation of a multi-volume series that can be purchased individually. It is available here as a single complete volume.

Part 1: Building the UI

This 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.

Part 2: Deployment to the Apple App Store

The section explains and demonstrates how to prepare, build, and deploy the finished application to both the Apple App Store.

Part 3: Deployment to the Google Play Store (Coming Soon)

The section explains and demonstrates how to prepare, build, and deploy the finished application to both the Google Play Store.

What Do You Need to Know?

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

I do not expect you to have ever used React or the Ionic Framework, but it certainly will not hurt you if you have. I should make clear that this is not a book on React. While I will point out basic aspects of React as they pertain to Ionic, I will not go any deeper than I must to make the demo application work.

Concepts will be explained as needed, as close to their use as I can get.

What Will You Learn?

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.

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. It will be a fast ride, so hang on.

Important Disclaimer

This book is a work in progress. I am offering it early in the hopes that it will help you get a jump on your Ionic-React projects. As new content is completed, it will be added to the book, and a new version will be released. All purchasers of this book will of course be able to download the new versions free of charge.
