Pocket-Sized Angular

There are many ways to develop mobile applications. You can build them using native languages and tooling, but then you must develop them twice, once for iOS and then again for Android. Or you could just build it as a responsive web application that is styled for mobile use…but then you lose access to native services such as the camera or accelerometer. In the middle you have Apache Cordova (aka, PhoneGap) which wraps a web UI with a native application, but then it gets tricky to present the application in an idiomatic way on the various mobile devices that run the app.

NativeScript offers another option. With NativeScript, you can develop truly mobile applications with TypeScript and Angular that have access to native services, have UIs that match the device that they're running on, and that only must be developed once to run on multiple mobile platforms.

In this session, we'll explore NativeScript with Angular and TypeScript to see how to create a native mobile application that runs on either iOS or Android.
