This course focuses on developing multiplatform mobile applications using the Web technologies (HTML5, CSS and Javascript). In particular we make use of the Cordova hybrid application framework to develop and target multiple mobile platforms with a single codebase. We make use of the Ionic framework (Ionic Ver 3.x), one of the most popular mobile application frameworks, that is built with mobile-optimized HTML5 and CSS based components and Angular. You will learn about UI development with Ionic and then using Cordova's modules to access the native mobile platform's capabilities from Javascript. You should have already completed the Bootstrap 4 and the Angular courses in this specialization before proceeding with this course.

Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Hybrid Mobile App Development Frameworks: An Introduction
This module introduces you to hybrid mobile application development. You will learn about the Ionic framework and explore some of the features of the Ionic framework to implement an Ionic app based on the Angular application that was implemented in the previous course on Angular.
Ionic Components
This module explores the Ionic support for forms. Advanced features of Ionic lists are discussed. In addition all the different methods of overlaying information on the screen like modals, popups, popovers, action sheets, and loading are examined. Ionic support for gestures is also briefly considered.
Ionic Split Pane, Grid and Storage, and Deploying your App
In this module you will learn about using local storage within your app. You will then learn about configuring your machine for building your app for various platforms, and deploying your app to emulators and devices.
Accessing Native Capabilities of Devices: Cordova and Ionic Native
In this module you will explore Cordova and the Ionic Native wrappers that enable you to access the native capabilities of the mobile devices. You will use a few plugins in order to understand the general concepts and the patterns for using these plugins within your Ionic application
Reviews
TOP REVIEWS FROM MULTIPLATFORM MOBILE APP DEVELOPMENT WITH WEB TECHNOLOGIES: IONIC AND CORDOVA
Content of course is informative and flow is well maintained. Only pain point has been the peer review process. Thanks to support team for answering my queries on assignment review!
Enjoyed learning and included all details as required by course. If require content can be updated as per ionic latest v5.4 as of now.
Another great course! Enjoyed how it builds upon the previous Angular course to show you how to create a multiplatform mobile app!
Ionic has new updated framework which has new methodology. It would be nice if course can be updated to cover new version
