Ionic 7: Create awesome and AI-able apps for any platform

Building an app that can reach mobile, desktop, and web users means thinking beyond the first screen of code. In Ionic 7: Create awesome and AI-able apps for any platform, Andreas Dormann takes readers through that broader process with a running example: “BoB Tours,” a tourism app developed chapter by chapter.

The guide moves from Ionic and Angular fundamentals into the practical decisions that shape a working application, then continues through testing, deployment, and an extended exploration of AI in app development.

Follow one app from first steps to release

The book begins with Angular essentials and a first Ionic app before expanding the sample project. Its topics include navigation, services and storage, interface components, and form validation. Later chapters address theming and styling, adding functionality with or without Capacitor, debugging, and testing.

That progression gives readers a way to see how core pieces fit together in a developing project—not just encounter them as disconnected features.

Think across platforms and frameworks

Deployment is part of the journey, too. The contents cover publishing for Android and Apple platforms, desktop, and Progressive Web Apps. A later chapter considers Ionic alongside frameworks including React, Svelte, and Vue, as well as using Ionic without a framework.

Explore the AI chapter 💡

The bonus section looks at practical connections between Ionic and AI. Topics listed include using ChatGPT, Bing, and; coding with GitHub Copilot; generating design ideas with tools such as DALL·E and Midjourney; trying the Ionic AI Generator; integrating OpenAI into Ionic apps; and comparing ready-to-use AI models with AI frameworks.

A project-led reference for Ionic learners

Developers who are new to Ionic can use the sequence of chapters to orient themselves, while readers with experience in other frameworks can explore how Ionic’s tools and workflow relate to what they already know. The sample app also makes the book useful as a topic-by-topic reference when you want to revisit a particular stage of development.

For readers interested in both the practical foundations of Ionic 7 and the emerging role of AI in app-making, Dormann’s guide brings those subjects together in one project-centered volume.
