Description

Angular is a popular JavaScript framework for building scalable web apps, while Ionic is an open-source framework that uses Angular to create cross-platform mobile apps. PouchDB is a JavaScript-based database for offline storage and seamless data synchronization and CouchDB is a NoSQL database designed for distributed environments with built-in data replication and offline access. Together, they enable developers to build scalable, offline-first web apps. The course begins with an introduction and preview, and a walkthrough of the Ionic project structure. We will then proceed to build a fast and easy Todo app and embark on the development of Julies app, starting with an introduction and screen design for the home and order screens and essential concepts such as four-way binding, the CAP theorem, and eventual consistency. You will learn to propagate changes from PouchDB, work with types/models, and create a view for products consumed. Displaying available products for ordering, fixing bugs, and styling the products view are further topics addressed. We will cover adding custom fonts, performing CRUD operations on products and tables, transitioning from paid to free, and generating code documentation using compodoc. Upon completion, we will be equipped with the knowledge/skills to build scalable and feature-rich offline-first apps.

Who is this book for?

This course is designed for software engineers who are interested in creating multi-platform apps using a web framework, suitable for engineers who want to explore advanced features like repository patterns for database solutions and implementing state machines with XState. This course assumes a basic knowledge of Angular and Ionic. If new to these frameworks, you can refer to the documentation provided. Prior knowledge of TypeScript is desirable. Basic understanding of JavaScript is essential. The course focuses on practical implementation, so not every basic concept is thoroughly explained.
