Ionic 9
Create awesome apps for every platform.
A practical journey from the first screen to a real cross-platform application — built with the modern Ionic stack.
Coming early October 2026.
Learn Ionic by building one real app.
This book does not teach Ionic as a box of unrelated components. It builds one application step by step and lets each new concept solve a real problem when that problem appears. Built from the ground up for Ionic 9.

App evolution
FROM ZERO TO A REAL APP
Learn by building something that keeps getting better.
BoB Tours starts with a simple application shell. Navigation, real data, filtering and increasingly useful UI features turn it step by step into a real application.
Modern stack
THE MODERN IONIC STACK
Modern Ionic deserves modern Angular.
Ionic 9 sits at the centre of a current development stack built
around Angular 22 and Capacitor 8 — with Signals, zoneless change
detection, OnPush, httpResource(), Signal Forms and
Vitest.
Cross-platform
ONE APP. EVERY SCREEN.
One application. Three very different screens.
BoB Tours adapts from a focused phone interface to a tablet layout and a spacious browser experience — while remaining one application and one codebase.
Verified
WE CHECKED.
Framework behaviour, not framework folklore.
The book does not stop at explaining what Ionic and Angular are supposed to do. Starter output, builds, navigation, lifecycle behaviour, network requests and tests are inspected against the application the reader actually builds.
