Developing Progressive Web Applications with Angular (and Ionic): How to Build and Deploy Mobile Applications without Paying Apple or Google for the Privilege - Angular Advocate Michael D Callaghan

Forget the App Stores! They are too expensive: While Google only charges a one-time $25 fee to join, Apple charges $99/year just for the privilege of hosting your apps there. And even if you are willing to pay, those companies still have veto power over the content of your application. It's time to say no. As a software developer, you want your apps to reach as many people as possible, right? Which platform should you target to reach the most users possible? How about all of them? Progressive Web Apps, or PWAs, let you do just that... and without paying a Google or Apple to be in their stores. In this book, I'll show you how to take an Angular application and deploy it to the web as a Progressive Web Application. This will make it easy for you to target the web, iOS, and Android, all at the same time, without ever asking Google or Apple for permission. By the end of this book, you should have all the knowledge and confidence you need to deploy your own PWA that all your potential users can enjoy.
