In April 2015, a workshop on building mobile apps with the Ionic framework was announced to take place at ng-Vegas, led by software engineer Terence Carroll, who has experience with both startups and large enterprises. The workshop promises a hands-on introduction to mobile development using Ionic, where attendees will learn to create, build, and publish cross-platform mobile apps for both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, covering topics such as native versus hybrid apps, Ionic UI components, and the Ionic CLI. Attendees are recommended to have a basic understanding of JavaScript, Angular, HTML, CSS, and some familiarity with the command line, though no prior mobile development experience is required. Carroll, who is passionate about teamwork and has a background in AngularJS, Ionic, C#, iOS, and Android, will guide participants in setting up a mobile development environment, planning, designing, and deploying their apps.
