About the Book

Learn Ionic 4 From Scratch

Launch your mobile development career by creating amazing cross platform applications with Angular, Vue and React.

Creating mobile applications with web technologies has never been easier. Ionic uses the power of Stencil to create performant applications that we can bundle as a native application, or deploy as a Progressive Web Application. By the end of this book, you'll be able to create mobile experiences using Angular, React, Vue.js and JavaScript.

This book covers everything from:

• Ionic 4 with Angular, Vue.js and React.
• Master the Ionic CLI.
• Styling.
• Ionic Components.
• Local Data Storage
• Routing patterns (with lazy loading).
• Much more!

Here's a specific breakdown of some project(s) we create within the book:
