This month I (@hectoriribarne, http://iribarne.com) talked about using the Ionic Framework (http://ionicframework.com) for building mobile apps for iPhone and Android using HTML5 and JavaScript.

Below are the topics discussed:

• What is Ionic?
• Angular JS Directives, Scope and Dependency Injection
• Cordova (a.k.a. Phonegap)
• Installing Ionic
• Using the Ionic command line interface (CLI)
• Demo of two Ionic sample apps, including a walk-through of the code
• Building the iOS app and running it on the iOS emulator
• Building the Android app and running it on a device (API=10, Gingerbread 2.3)

We did not talk much about Drupal this month, since we were focusing on mobile apps. At a future meetup, we plan on showing how to integrate the Ionic Framework with Drupal. Stay tuned!

We had two remote participants via Skype/Join.me and five in the meeting room.
