We have 2 great presentations planned for this month. Both topics will involve how Angular is being used to build new frameworks for both web and mobile application development.
We also teamed up with Raritan Valley Start Ups (https://www.meetup.com/relaxrv/) and Juniper Network's OpenLab (http://www.juniper.net/us/en/company/openlab/#tab-overview), who generously offered their space for this month's meeting.

Developers encounter problems with speed, building good-looking UIs and a plethora of hardware differences that force them to go back to the land of native. AngularJS changed building apps for the web. Ionic changes building hybrid apps on mobile.
Easy-to-use, beautiful and ready to perform, Ionic is an open source framework made for hybrid apps.
In this talk, Mike Hartington introduces developing for mobile with AngularJS and how to supercharge it with Ionic.
Mike is a front-end developer who has used Ionic since its alpha. As Ionic's developer advocate, Mike manages the Ionic Forum, serves as a resource to developers, and writes technical documentation. When he's not working, you can find him relaxing with a beer and guitar.

Once you get the hang of front-end development, the shift to full-stack applications can be daunting. Mean.io is a great starting point for many front-end developers looking to make web apps linked to a mongoDB for real-time binding.
Alex Romero has taken great effort to help people think the ‘Angular’ Way. He is a Ui/Ux Developer with javascript as his weapon of choice for most web projects. He has currently used angular to build a phonegap app, prototypes for native development, and single page applications.
Joe Hewitt fights evil by moonlight and is a UX designer and frontend developer by daylight. He’s always interested in projects that let people interact with the world around them and technology in new ways. He uses Angular in his work with single page web apps and phonegap prototypes.
