If you are a JavaScript coder who is still late to making up a definitive list of resolutions for 2019, let me give you a hand: Start figuring out how to get into Augmented Reality (AR). The Augmented/Mixed/Virtual Reality (AR/MR/VR) combo has enjoyed frenetic growth since 2016, coming from a  marginal market value  of bit more than $6 Billion to one that might reach the $210 Billion in sales (including hardware) by 2022. Of all,  Augmented Reality  is the one experiencing steady growth. At first, a JavaScript (web) developer wanting to get into the AR boat might feel discouraged when finding  the usual required skills ; and then there is who ask  Machine Learning  or Internet of Things. However if you are mainly a JavaScript developer, consider yourself blessed: the language is  recurrently mentioned  as one you should know to enter this sector. The reason? Right now  a lot of AR development goes on the web . And this is where...

This will be a step by step guide for converting an angular project to an android application by using Cordova (The process will be quiet similar for creating IOS apps). Before we start converting our application we need to install Cordova, Java SDK, Apache Ant, Gradle, and Android SDK for running our android application. If you have already done all the required setup you can skip this section. Note:  You don’t need to enter ‘$’ in front of every command, it indicates that you have to enter the command in your terminal. Installing Cordova: You will need NPM(Node Package Manager) to install Cordova Package. $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get install curl $ curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash - $ sudo apt-get install nodejs $ nodejs -v $ sudo apt-get install npm $ npm -v 2. You also need GIT, as it is used by Cordova behind the scenes. $ sudo apt-get install git $ git --version 3. Installing Cordova $ sudo npm instal...

If you are a web developer Angular probably crossed your path a couple of times. Angular (as well as other javascript frameworks like react or vue.js) is a super cool frontend framework to build small and simple up to large and complex web applications. As a developer I always try to provide the user the best possible user experience. That once meant that I had to develop a smartphone app instead of a web application. As a javascript enthusiast I didn’t want to start developing in c, c++ or java. So I did some research and quickly came to the conclusion that you can easily develop smartphone apps with a javascript framework as a basis. Building new hybrid apps from scratch is already pretty good documented but I also wanted to update  existing  web projects to be deployed as hybrid apps. After this tutorial you will be able to build your  existing  Angular web project as an android mobile app (APK), get it running on your android device and even deploy i...
