MongoDB Basics // Building Hybrid Mobile Apps with Angular and Ionic

Topic #1: MongoDB Basics

MongoDB is a NoSQL Database. It stores data as BSON documents, a binary version of JSON, instead of table records. This provides flexibility for data that is less structured than typical database records by allowing the data to be schema-less. In combination with powerful geospatial indexing, the schema-less nature of MongoDB provides an incredibly useful means of storing location data.

MongoDB Basics, presented by Michael Albertson, will cover how to set up MongoDB in a Windows environment, the basics of querying the database, how to interface with the database via the C# driver, and of course a demonstration of MongoDB's geospatial indexing.

Topic #2: Building Hybrid Mobile Apps with Angular and Ionic

Are you a web developer but have always wanted to build a mobile app? Free and open source, Ionic offers a library of mobile-optimized HTML, CSS and JS components, gestures, and tools for building highly interactive apps. In this talk we will learn what Ionic is, how to scaffold an app using the Ionic CLI, and how to build the app using Angular. We'll also take a look at debugging tools and how to access native API's with ngCordova.
