This course is about making Angular and Ionic do what you want. It's about taking your web development skills up a notch or seven. Basic tutorials, introductory courses and starting templates are enough to get the ball rolling, but if you are serious about:
creating beautiful, intuitive, thrilling User Interfaces
a fast, functional, original User Experience
being at the forefront of web technologies
security, reliability, and cost
then you have to be different.
You have to do things differently from others. Which means you need knowledge. This course will open the door to many wonderful, underutilised techniques and concepts that will not only vastly broaden your skill set, but enable you to stand out amongst the ever-growing population of coders and web developers. You will save money and shortcut endless hours of painful trial and error. And most crucially, coding, designing, idea-manifesting, making, moving from dream to idea to mock to real-world product... will become much more fun.
A sneak peak at what's in store:
Compressing a large production bundle for faster download speed, better performance, and sanity-saving build times.
Deploying to Kubernetes. How to use Docker, Nginx, and the Google Kubernetes Engine.
Why and how to use a Node Server.
Making the DOM do what you want - animations, event listening, seamless navigation, and more.
How to execute one-off or regular tasks like specific-time reminders, ongoing notifications, background cleanup tasks, etc.
Locking down specific critical dependency versions such as Node using custom scripts and warnings.
Sharing common functions, widgets, variables and other configuration files between pages, services and components.
Automatic and/or event-driven emails.
WHYTAKETHISCOURSE?
There's an idea going around that all the secrets have been discovered. That most of the wealth has been created — and that's it. That there are no more interesting problems to solve. That there is no room for more platforms, services, small business, entrepreneurial endeavours in the internet space, and so on. That is all nonsense.
There are plenty of known problems still to solve.
With online payments for example, there are many countries in which people can still not easily accept or make online payments. Creating and maintaining a website is still a laborious process. Our lives have yet to optimally merge and therefore take full advantage of The Internet of Things. There is much work to be done. And a substantial part of it involves better online services, applications, platforms; better connection with computers and the internet.
And it gets better: an infinite amount of unknowable problems await us. There are problems that currently exist that we know nothing about, and problems that we will create in the future. In both cases, the greatest preparation is knowledge.
SOURCECODE
The Downloadable Materials in the Resources section of each video contain code and other supporting materials. Also, ~all code from this course can be found at the GitHub monorepo (didaktio/Ionic-Angular-Course). The repo is broken down into submodules, which are independant repositories also locatable on the didaktio GitHub profile.
