Getting Started With Ionic 2

Everyone wants to have an “App” to represent them, their company, or just to perform some common task they might have in mind.

The problem with this is that there is so much to mobile app development. iPhone apps require that you have a Mac to compile them. Android apps have to deal with platform fragmentation. iPhone apps can mean working with Objective C, Android can mean Java– and if you aren’t a polyglot and fluent both these languages, you probably feel that mobile app development is quite the daunting task.

Luckily, though, there are other options to choose from – like the Ionic 2 framework. In this blog, we’ll show just how easy it is to get up and running with Ionic 2 by creating a reference mobile application. By the end of this blog, our application will have the ability to run in the browser, emulator, or be built-out to run on a device.

So, you’ve learned JavaScript and now you’re wanting to get into Angular. But where do you start?

There are quite a few examples out there. One of the best ideas I have personally found useful for a new developer to learn is how to do Create, Read, Update and Delete operations.

In this blog we’ll go through the process of building a simple, working Angular address book application with C.R.U.D. operations. By the end, and by studying the full, working code, you should have a better grasp on Angular.

Taking A Mixed Approach To Single-Page Applications

A coworker came to me with a problem. The client he was working with would be building hundreds of single-page applications and all would need to be tied into a single shell application. He had first attempted to use an iFrame contained within another single-page application to display the child applications.

While this worked, he came up against another requirement: the child applications may or may not need access to data from the parent shell application.

It was at this point he came to me for suggestions. I had been playing with this exact idea for sometime; how can you manage a collection of Single-Page Applications and still share data between them?

At this point, I decided to create a hybrid solution of mixing Single-Page Applications with a server-rendered shell application. The following is the process I took for creating this solution, highlighting some of the pain points with some suggestions for further enhancements.

A Test-Driven Development Introduction to Angular 2 – Part 2

In this updated blog post, we’ve built an employee directory using Angular 2 with unit tests, gone over some differences between Angular 2 and version 1, and introduced some of the features of TypeScript.

I originally wrote this article/application when Angular 2 was still in beta. Now that it has released officially, I have updated the source code to reflect updates made to the Angular 2 framework for release. My approach to get this working was to start from the new Angular 2 quick-start project, port in the original application source code, and refactor as needed to make things work. Let’s get started…
