About the Book
Learn to develop cutting-edge apps with a combination of Ionic Framework and the MEAN stack (MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node).
Learn the basics of Databases; covering SQL and NoSQL approaches, understanding the differences between ACID and BASE compliance and their respective pros and cons.
Developing from this foundation you'll dive straight into creating 2 fully-featured Ionic/MEAN stack applications utilising different API services.
In the first project that you'll undertake you'll learn how to create an Ionic based search-driven YouTube playlist using the MEAN stack.
In the second and final project you'll take your knowledge and skills to deliver a browser based Ionic music player app leveraging the Spotify API and MEAN stack.
You'll work with the latest versions of Ionic/Angular, MongoDB, Express, Node and TypeScript to build, expand and hone your skills with this particular tech stack.
Disclaimer: This ebook assumes that developers have pre-existing familiarity with Ionic Framework and the MEAN stack and is intended to show only a subset of working with these technologies and not the complete range of functionality available.
