Chapter 2. Setting up your computer to build apps
This chapter covers
- Creating a working sample project to see how it all fits together
- Previewing the sample app in a simulator on your computer
- Building the sample app and load it onto a connected device
You’re probably ready to get started with some code and actually build a mobile app. I’ll walk you through the steps to get all of the tools needed to set up Ionic and then help you create a new sample project. By the end of the chapter, you’ll have a sample app running on your computer that you can set up and preview on a connected device or a simulator. The steps in this chapter will be applied to future chapters, so you may find it a useful reference.
