To get the most out of this book
To get the most out of this book, you should know the basics of modern JavaScript. Knowing how to program with JavaScript features introduced from 2015 onward would make understanding this book much easier. Basic TypeScript concepts, such as defining interfaces and advanced data types, will be used in Chapter 5, Building a Multipurpose Calculator Mobile App with Ionic.
Also, Chapter 8, Building a Chat App with Vue 3, Laravel, and Socket.IO, covers Laravel, which requires a basic understanding of PHP. The backend portions of the more advanced projects also require understanding very basic SQL syntax. Commands such as Select
, Insert
, and Create table
will be helpful.
The other things required are the latest versions of Node.js and Visual Studio Code. Visual Studio Code supports JavaScript and TypeScript development out of the box. Node.js is required to run Vue CLI and Ionic CLI.
After reading this book, you should try to practice more by creating your own projects. This way, you will utilize the knowledge that you gained from this book. Learning from tutorials is only a start; creating projects on your own will make you proficient.
