HTML5, CSS

5. Familiar web-based programming
Quick and easy development iteration
Easy application update/re-branding
• Change web server content
Easy distribution
• Does not need to be packaged or distribution via
app store
Installation is optional
Potentially the widest range of device
support

6. No native look/feel
Slower than native apps
• App loaded over network and run in browser
• App Cache speeds up
• Some device have hardware acceleration for
CSS, faster Javascript engine

7. Binary executable explicitly installed on the
device
Specific application for each device
Distribution through app stores or markets
Write to device-specific SDK API
• iOS: Objective C/XCOde

• Blackbery: Java/Eclipse

8. Highest performance
Native UI and behavior (look/feel)
Can use any capabilities that the device
API supports
Launched from icon on home screen

9. Must write app for each device supported
Write to device-specific SDK API
• IOS: Objective C/XCOde
• Android: Java/Eclipse
• Blackbery: Java/Eclipse
Most costly development model (dev+
maintenance)
 2-3X dev cost + multiple platforms
Specific skills needed for development

10.  Best from Web and Native Apps
 App written using Web technologies
• HTML5+CSS3+Javascript
 Open web standards
 Wrapped as a native app that runs inside a
web container(i.e. Web kit)
 Full access to native functions from
JavaScript
• accelerometer, network, media, contacts
 Web code is the same across multiple
platforms

13. Android 4 and later (4.4 provides the best
developer experience)
IOS 6 and IOS 7
Windows 8 (Windows Store)
Windows Phone 8

14. To get the Multi-Device Hybrid Apps
extension, go to
the http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-
us/vstudio/dn722381.aspx.

15. Windows Management Framework 3.0
Visual Studio 2013 Update 3

16.  The installer first installs a patch to Visual Studio to support multi-device
hybrid app development.
 Joyent Node.js
• enables Visual Studio to integrate with the Apache Cordova Command Line Interface (CLI)
and Apache Ripple Emulator.
 Git CLI
• is required only if you need to manually add Git URIs for specific Cordova plug-ins.
 Google Chrome
• is required to run the Apache Ripple emulator for iOS and Android.
 Apache Ant 1.8.0 or later
• is required for the Android build process.
 Oracle Java JDK 7
• is required for the Android build process.
 Android SDK
• is required for the Android build process and Ripple.
 SQLite
• for Windows Runtime is required to add SQL connectivity to Windows apps (for the WebSQL
Polyfill plugin).
 Apple iTunes is required for deploying an app to an iOS device connected to
your Windows PC.

17.  css contains basic CSS style sheets that are included with the blank
template.
 images is the suggested location for images for your app.
 merges is used to add platform-specific code. For more information,
 By default, the Blank App template includes commonly used
platform-specific code for Windows and Android devices in
the merges folder. (platformOverrides.js us used to specify the
platform file.)
• For Android devices, a .js file is included to provide support for the
JavaScript Function.prototype.bind() function on Android 2.3 devices.
• For Windows, a winstore-jscompat.js file is included to enable support for a variety
of JavaScript libraries.
 res is used for platform-specific visual assets (icons and splash
screens) and signing certificates.
 script is the default location for all JavaScript or TypeScript files.

18. A config.xml file included in each project
provides most of your app configuration
such as the app's display name and start
page.

19. Visual Studio also provides two other ways
to configure your app to support platform-
specific content:
Platform-specific visual assets
Platform-specific content

20. Platform-specific visual assets
• You can use the res folder in your project to
specify visual assets such as icons and splash
screens based on device resolution and platform.
resiconsplatform contains the app icons
for each platform.
resscreensplatform contains splash
screens for each platform.

21.  Apache Cordova uses plugins to provide
access to native device capabilities that aren’t
available to simple web apps, such as access
to the file system.
 A plugin is a cross-platform Cordova library
that accesses native code and device
capabilities through a JavaScript interface.
 When required, the plugin also updates the
platform manifest to enable device
capabilities.
 Not all plugins are supported or needed on all
device platforms.

22. In Solution Explorer, open the shortcut
menu for the config.xml file, and then
choose Open or View Designer.
In the configuration designer, choose
the Plugins tab.
Select the plugins that you want to enable
in your app. (See the List of available
plugins.)

23. There are many options for running your
multi-device hybrid apps on Android. From
Visual Studio, you can run and debug
Android apps on the following emulators
and devices:
Apache Ripple emulator (discussed in a
separate article)
Android emulator
Genymotion emulator
Android device

24.  The Visual Studio Services Manager for
connected services lets you integrate
Microsoft services like Azure Mobile Services,
Office 365, and other services into your multi-
device hybrid apps. The manager makes it
easy to add services without leaving Visual
Studio.
 In this article:
 Opening Service Manager
 Adding Azure Mobile Services
 Adding Office 365 services

26. Apache Cordova is a set of device APIs
that allow a mobile app developer to
access native device function such as the
camera or accelerometer from JavaScript.

27. Free and open source, Ionic offers a library
of mobile-optimized HTML, CSS and JS
components for building highly interactive
apps.

28. Speed is important. So important that you
only notice when it isn't there.
 Ionic is built to perform and behave great
on the latest mobile devices.
 With minimal DOM manipulation,
Zero jQuery,
Hardware accelerated transitions, one
thing is for sure: You'll be impressed.

29. A match made in heaven. Ionic
utilizes AngularJS in order to create a
framework most suited to develop rich and
robust applications. Ionic not only looks
nice, but its core architecture is for serious
app development, and AngularJS ties in
perfectly.

30. Ionic is modeled on popular native mobile
development SDKs, making it easy to
understand for anyone that has built a
native app for iOS or Android.
 Just drop it in your code to get going, and
push through PhoneGap when it's
ready. Develop once, deploy everywhere.

31. Clean, simple, and functional. Ionic has
been designed to work and display
beautifully on all current mobile devices.
With tons of popular mobile components,
typography, interactive paradigms, and a
gorgeous (yet extensible) base theme,
you'll wonder how you lived without it.

32. Reusable and customizable front-end UI elements
 Header
 Content
 Footer
 Buttons
 List
 Cards
 Forms
 Toggle
 Checkbox
 Radio Buttons
 Range
 Select
 Tabs
 Grid
 Utility

34. Ionic is both a CSS framework and a
Javascript UI library. Many components
need Javascript in order to produce magic,
though often components can easily be
used without coding through framework
extensions such as our AngularIonic
extensions.

36. http://ngCordova.com
ngCordova gives you simple AngularJS
wrappers for common Cordova plugins.
Created by the Ionic Framework team and
the community.

37.  ngCordova currently has support for the following plugins:
 org.apache.cordova.camera org.apache.cordova.console
org.apache.cordova.contacts org.apache.cordova.device
org.apache.cordova.device-motion
org.apache.cordova.device-orientation
org.apache.cordova.dialogs org.apache.cordova.file
org.apache.cordova.geolocation
