The Altoona campus Information Technology (IT) students have been creating possible solutions with Ionic Creator and the Ionic Framework. Ionic is a complete open-source software development kit (SDK) for hybrid mobile application development. Ionic 2 is built on Angular from Google and NodeJS™ and provides tools and services for developing hybrid mobile apps using Web technologies like CSS, HTML5, JavaScript™, and Sass. Apps can be built with these Web technologies and then distributed through native app stores to be installed on devices by leveraging Apache Cordova™.
IT Instructor, Guido Santella, and his students are currently experimenting with different ways to display the data that the Healthy Blair County Coalition and the Let's Move Blair County! initiative want to share with the community within a mobile app. Click here for a live, interactive example of how the finished app could look.
