I will be demonstrating how WordPress can be used as a backend platform for mobile apps using WordPress REST API. I will go further and talk about how WP developers can leverage their existing web development skills together with Ionic Framework v4 to create powerful mobile apps that can be deployed to the App stores leveraging the WordPress REST API as a backend service. This workshop will be gold for WP developers who want to develop mobile apps using their existing skillset while avoiding the pitfalls of native development languages. The presentation portion of the workshop may also be useful for project managers and other business professionals who are interested in reducing development costs using WordPress & Ionic.
