What is the Ionic Framework?

The Ionic Framework combines Google’s Angular with Apache’s Cordova to create fast and beautiful cross-platform mobileapps for iOS and Android (and Electron or Progressive Web Apps). Built atopthe web technologies you know and love, this solution can help take yourweb skills beyond the browser.

*In this talk, I will give you an overview of the Ionic Framework, show howto install it, and finally build a quick app and deploy it to both iOS and

Android using some of the additional Ionic.io services.*

Intro to Open Source - the gritty details...

You probably use open source software every day but you don’t know a whole lot about it. What makes a project open source? What can you do or not do with open source software? Who runs big projects like Angular, jQuery, and React? How can you make a difference in open source projects?

Learn about these things and more as we get into the nitty-gritty details of what makes open source projects tick and how you can be a part of the free software revolution

Look Forward to seeing everyone there!
