+
+ The{' '}
+
+ Android SDK
+ {' '}
+ is a software development kit built for developers building for Google's Android Platform. It includes tools for
+ building, testing, and debugging Android applications.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Autoprefixer
+
+
+
+ Autoprefixer
+ {' '}
+ is a tool that adds vendor-specific-prefixes to hand-written Sass/CSS code. This ensures that standardized CSS rules
+ you write will be applied across all supporting browsers. For example, instead of having to know every flexbox
+ syntax used by various browsers, autoprefixer allows you to just write display: flex; and it'll
+ automatically plug in the correct CSS.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Bundling
+
+
+ Bundling is the process of taking an app's dependencies (code you've written plus any npm modules installed) and
+ compiling/transpiling them down to one single file.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Capacitor
+
+
+
+ Capacitor
+ {' '}
+ is an open source cross-platform app runtime that allows web-based apps to run natively on iOS, Android, Electron,
+ and the web. It's helpful to refer to these apps "Native Progressive Web Apps" and they represent the next evolution
+ beyond the traditional Hybrid app mentality. Capacitor was created and is actively developed/supported by Ionic, the
+ company.
+
+
+
+
+
+ CLI
+
+
+ A CLI, or Command-Line Interface, is a text-based interface for
+ interacting with a program. The common command-line app for a Mac user is the Terminal app, and Windows users often
+ use Command Prompt. The Ionic community often uses this term to refer to{' '}
+ Ionic's CLI. Ionic's CLI can be used for a number of things,
+ such as creating production builds of an app, running the development server, and accessing{' '}
+
+ Ionic commercial services
+
+ .
+
+
+
+
+
+ CommonJS
+
+
+
+ CommonJS
+ {' '}

+ packages.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Cordova
+
+
+
+ Apache Cordova
+ {' '}
+ is an open source mobile application development framework that transforms standard HTML/CSS/JS into full-fledged
+ native apps. It provides a JavaScript API for accessing native device functionality, such as the camera or
+ accelerometer. Cordova contains the necessary build tools for packaging webapps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone.

+
+
+ CORS
+
+

+
+
+
+
+
+ CSS Variables

+
+ You may be familiar with variables from Sass.{' '}
+
+ CSS Variables
+ {' '}
+ enable the same functionality but are built into the browser. CSS Variables are available in all evergreen browsers.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Decorators
+
+
+ Decorators are expressions that return a function. They allow you to take an existing function, and extend its
+ behavior. With TypeScript, you can also decorate classes and parameters. When you decorate a{' '}
+ class, you are wrapping and extending the behavior of its constructor. In other words, the
+ decorator will add some functionality when the constructor is called, and will then return the original constructor.
+ When you decorate a parameter, you are wrapping the argument that gets passed in for that
+ parameter. The decorator will add functionality when an argument is passed to the method, and then return the
+ original argument.
+
+
+
+
+
+ ES5
+
+
+ ES5 refers to EcmaScript 5th Edition. A simple way to put it is that ES5 is the version of JavaScript which
+ developers are most familiar with today.
+
+
+
+
+
+ ES2015/ES6
+
+
+ A wide range of new features were introduced in this version of JavaScript, including classes, modules, iterators,
+ and promises. Evergreen browsers (Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge) have full support for ES6, but to use ES6
+ features in older browsers, tools such as Babel and TypeScript have
+ to transpile ES6 code down to ES5.
+
+
+
+
+
+ ES2016/ES7
+
+
+ This version of JavaScript added a number of new features to the language, including Array.includes and
+ the exponentiation operator. This version of JavaScript is fully supported by all evergreen browsers (Chrome,
+ Safari, Firefox and Edge)
+
+
+
+
+
+ ES2017/ES8
+
+
+ This version of JavaScript is the latest standard. It is currently in the final stage before becoming the new
+ official standard. This spec includes Async/Await (already in all evergreen browsers) and shared memory/atomics.

+
+
+
+
+ Gulp
+
+
+
+ Gulp
+ {' '}

+ ES6 to ES5, turning Sass into CSS, minifying code,
+ and concatenating files.
+
+
+
+
+
+ ES Modules
+
+
+
+ ES Modules
+ {' '}
+ brings the concept of modules natively to JavaScript. With modules, classes and variables are no longer in the
+ global scope and have to be explicitly imported into your project to be used. This makes it much easier to
+ understand where your code is coming from and increases modularity and compartmentalization of functionality.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Ionicons
+
+
+
+ Ionicons
+ {' '}

+ used in any project.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Karma
+
+
+
+ Karma
+ {' '}
+ is a test runner that will run an app's test inside a real browser. It executes test cases, written in any testing
+ framework, in a real browser. Karma was originally written for use with Angular 1.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Module
+
+
+ Modules in JavaScript are small, independent, and reusable pieces or code that are isolated from one another and the
+ Global scope.
+
+
+
+
+

+
+
+ A monorepo is a single git repository with multiple projects. Advantages include simpler
+ organization, shared tooling and dependencies, and better collaboration with teammates.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Live Reload
+
+
+ Live Reload (or live-reload) is a tool that automatically reloads the browser or{' '}
+ Web View when it detects changes in your app. In some cases, it can replace
+ parts of your app without having to reload the entire window. See the{' '}
+ Live Reload docs for more information.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Node
+
+
+
+ Node
+ {' '}

+ services, node is often used to build developer tools, such as the Ionic CLI.
+
+
+
+
+
+ npm
+
+
+
+ npm
+ {' '}
+ is the package manager for node. It allows developers to install, share, and package node
+ modules. Ionic can be installed with npm, along with a number of its dependencies.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Observable
+
+
+ An observable is an object that emits events (or notifications). An observer is an object that listens for these
+ events, and does something when an event is received. Together, they create a pattern that can be used for
+ programming asynchronously.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Package ID
+
+
+ Referred to by Apple as Bundle ID and by Android as Application ID, the{' '}
+ Package ID is used for identifying apps published to the App Store/Play Store. It is a string
+ formatted in{' '}
+
+ reverse-DNS notation
+
+ .
+
+
+
+
+
+ Polyfill
+
+
+ A{' '}
+
+ polyfill
+ {' '}
+ is a bit of code that adds functionality to the browser and normalizes browser differences. This is similar to a{' '}
+ shim, but where a shim has it's own API, a polyfill let's the expect API of the browser be used.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Protractor
+
+
+
+ Protractor
+ {' '}
+ is a testing framework written for and by the Angular team. Protractor can be used with test runners, like Karma,
+ for end-to-end testing. Test runners allow you to quickly and programmatically verify code quality.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Shim
+
+
+ A shim is a piece of code that normalizes an APIs across browsers. A shim can have it's own API that hides the
+ browser specific implementation from the end user.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Transpiler
+
+
+ Transpilation is the process of converting code from one language to another language prior to execution. Typically,
+ a transpiler will convert a high-level language to another high-level language. The most common type of{' '}
+ transpilation in Ionic Framework is converting ES2015/ES6 (
+ TypeScript) to ES5 (traditional JavaScript).
+
+
+
+
+
+ TypeScript
+
+
+
+ TypeScript
+ {' '}
+ is a superset of JavaScript, which means it gives you JavaScript, along with a number of extra features such as{' '}
+
+ type declarations
+ {' '}
+ and{' '}
+
+ interfaces
+
+ . Although Ionic is built with TypeScript, using it to build an Ionic app is completely optional.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Unit Tests
+
+
+ Unit Tests and unit testing are a way to test small pieces of code to see if they behave as expected. Unit testing
+ frameworks include Jasmine, Mocha, QUnit, and many others.
+
+
+
+
+
+ Webpack
+
+
+
+ Webpack
+ {' '}
+ bundles together JavaScript modules and other assets. It can be used to create single or multiple "chunks" that are
+ only loaded when needed. Webpack can be used to take many files and dependencies and bundle them into one file, or
+ other types.
