Managing the front-end for large organizations can be a difficult task; the larger the application, the greater the need to divide it into smaller and more manageable, de-centralized artifacts in order to deliver a clean and consistent user experience.


In this talk we will explore multiple ways in which enterprises can leverage micro-frontend architecture and web components compiled by Stencil JS in order to simplify the development, deployment, and consumption of third party content into large front-end applications.

App development is rapidly evolving. Applications were originally built using a monolithic approach—a single-tiered code base combining UI and data into a single platform. Now, companies are moving towards micro frontends, an architectural style where UI front-end are composed of independent components that can be built by different teams at different times, saving development time and costs.

Micro frontends need to be reusable and portable. They need to be able to communicate with other parts of the app, provide a seamless and virtually invisible to users, and be easy to update without updating the larger app. Given these points, web technology is a great way to deliver micro experiences not only for the web but for mobile as well.

Discover how using Ionic Portals will allow your team to deliver micro experiences on mobile apps.

General-purpose continuous integration/continuous delivery tools like Gitlab and CircleCI have transformed the way developers build and ship software. By automating the release process, businesses are able to deliver value to customers faster than ever before. However, common CI/CD solutions aren’t optimized for mobile application development and require DevOps expertise.

Appflow, Ionic’s mobile DevOps platform, fills in the gaps. Join Matt Netkow, Product Evangelist and Matt Kremer, Appflow Product Manager for a live presentation covering how to integrate Appflow with your CI/CD platform including Azure DevOps, Gitlab, Jenkins, and more. Topics include:

- Overcoming the challenges of mobile CI/CD
- Setting up consistent, repeatable mobile build environments in just a few clicks with Appflow
- Integrating Live Updates, iOS/Android native builds, and automated app store publishing with your existing CI/CD system
- A live demo integrating Appflow with an Azure DevOps pipeline

Integrating Appflow’s Mobile Capabilities with your CI/CD Platform

While it may surprise you, it’s incredibly common to incorporate web-based experiences inside a mobile app. In fact, many mobile users will seamlessly move between native mobile features and web-based experiences inside an app, without realizing it. Popular apps like Apple Music, Amazon shopping, Vonage business communications, Instacart grocery delivery, and Disney World are great examples of how this works in practice.

By reusing and repurposing your existing web experiences, you can dramatically cut down on development time and costs. On top of that, with native mobile development talent exceedingly hard to find, it’s much easier to get your in-house web developers to develop new features or build reusable architecture that can be deployed in your native mobile apps, as well as on the web.

In this talk, we’ll show you why and how to incorporate web content in your native mobile apps, in a way that’s easy and intuitive for developers and seamless for users. The talk, led by Matt Netkow, Developer Advocate, and Josh Thomas, Product Manager, will demonstrate:

- The benefits of integrating web content into native apps
- How to access native features, such as geolocation, haptics, biometrics, and more to deliver world-class mobile experiences to users
- How enterprise customers use web views to accelerate their time to market.

Why and How to Add Web Content to Your Existing Mobile Apps

Mobile app security. Every enterprise app needs it. Every team understands how important it is. However, maintaining healthy security practices is complicated. Mobile app security best practices change often. It’s challenging to stay on top of the latest application security patches and fixes. One misstep can trigger serious consequences like data loss and unauthorized account access. Despite those complications, security feels like a distraction when it takes focus time away from your core business.

Enter Auth Connect, Identity Vault, and Secure Storage: Ionic’s native security solution trifecta. Matt Netkow, Product Evangelist at Ionic, covers mobile app security best practices and pitfalls to avoid when building out a security solution for your enterprise company, including: 

- The benefits and tradeoffs of all mobile data storage options
- Biometric authentication and token storage best practices
- Modern authentication techniques
- A demo showing how to quickly drop single sign-on, biometric authentication, and data storage features into your apps.

Enterprise IT leaders are under pressure to deliver more and better mobile experiences. 

A crushing lack of mobile developer talent makes it hard to keep up. Low-code tools promise a remedy, but their black box approach is costly and adds risk over the long-term.

Thankfully, a new generation of open source solutions are empowering web development teams to build enterprise-grade mobile apps - or extend existing mobile apps - using familiar tools and open standards.

How Open Source Is Changing Mobile App Development

Back by popular demand with updated content and demos!

You’ve been assigned to lead the company’s new mobile app project. Excitement quickly turns to concern as you think back on previous mobile projects that haven’t been successful. Or, perhaps this is your company’s first foray into mobile - until now, your dev teams have only built desktop websites.

Join Matt Netkow, Head of Developer Relations at Ionic, for a live presentation covering the common pitfalls and strategies that ensure a successful mobile project launch. This includes the top 10 things you should plan to do before building a mobile app, such as:

- Deciding which platforms to build for (iOS, Android, PWA, or desktop web)
- The important but often neglected areas such as app security, error logging, data integrations, device testing, and more
- Deciding on the mobile development platform/approach to use (Cross-platform vs. Native, and Full-code vs. Low-code, OSS vs. commercial)

If you’re evaluating cross-platform development options, you’ve probably built a short list of potential solutions. Ionic is often among the most popular alternatives when it comes to building iOS and Android mobile apps from a single shared codebase, without having to learn Swift and Kotlin or master the nuances of developing with the native SDKs. Like many cross-platform alternatives, including React Native and Flutter, Ionic offers a great developer experience, a worldwide developer community, and the ability to build a high performance truly native app.

But how do you know which one to choose?

In our upcoming webinar, we’ll show you how Ionic’s unique web-first approach compares with the alternatives, and which solution is right for you. Join Mike Hartington, Developer Advocate at Ionic, as he covers:

- Building cross-platform apps for iOS, Android, and mobile web
- Ionic vs. React Native, Flutter, and Xamarin
- The benefits and tradeoffs of a Web Native approach
- Why and when to choose each alternative

Register to attend today and we’ll also send along our free Ionic vs. React Native and Ionic vs. Flutter comparison guides.
