Cross-Platform Mobile with Cordova and Ionic Framework

with Ryan Salva, Max Lynch

Six years ago, PhoneGap (a.k.a. Apache Cordova) burst onto the scene with tremendous fanfare. It promised near-total code sharing across iOS, Android, and Windows using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Since then, both the technology and the market have matured. Phones are faster and JavaScript frameworks are smarter. Ionic Framework is a free and open source library of mobile-optimized HTML, CSS and JS CSS components, gestures, and tools for building highly interactive apps. Built with Sass and optimized for AngularJS, it fits neatly into the JS developer workflow. In this session, the Ionic team will join us on stage to share how Microsoft and Ionic built a Build conference app using VS Code, Visual Studio, Azure Mobile Services, Ionic and Code Push.
