Ionic has launched the Ionic Academy, a self-guided learning platform designed to educate Ionic developers with high-quality videos, written content, and sample apps, akin to Laravel's Laracasts. Initiated by community member Simon Reimler, the Academy provides resources and community features to facilitate learning and connection among developers. The platform is subscription-based to ensure sustainability and continued quality, with introductory pricing set at $19 per month or $171 annually. The initiative aims to become a central part of the Ionic learning ecosystem, supporting developers in building Ionic apps while complementing other community-led educational efforts.
