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.

We have consultants who specialize in moving old to new, renovating dilapidated code bases, and designing brighter futures for enterprises who have been vendor-locked for most of their existence. We have come across some repeated patterns and strategies for how to approach modernization of legacy systems. In this blog, we will cover a strategy that is very popular right now, Re-Platforming.

The basic flow of this post will be:

Introduction to Modernization
High-level definition of the Re-Platforming Strategy for Modernization

Spring Boot – The Right Boot For You!

Matt McCandless Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, Java, Spring, Spring Boot, Tutorial 1 Comment

Need a little spring in your step? Tired of all those heavy web servers and deploying WAR files? Well you’re in luck.

Spring Boot takes an opinionated view of building production-ready Spring applications. Spring Boot favors convention over configuration and is designed to get you up and running as quickly as possible.

The aim of this blog is just to get you familiar with how to get Spring Boot going on your machine. It is going to be fairly straightforward and vanilla. The goal is to get you started…

Setting Up Angular 2 MockBackend

Todd Leininger Angular, Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript, Tutorial 10 Comments

Todd was working on a client project developing one of the company’s first Angular 2 applications when he found that he needed access to the REST services before they were ready. He needed a good way to mock them up, so he set up a mock service for an Angular 2 application using MockBackend.

In this article Todd shows a step-by-step example of setting up a mock of RESTful web service APIs for an Angular 2 application using Angular’s MockBackend. With this method, he could then use that mock to work on the application before the real APIs were ready.
