Programming LanguageWBIT #5: Building a framework to lure web devs to mobile


Kyle interviews Maria Hutt about building the Ionic mobile framework.

Kyle interviews Maria Hutt, a software engineer at Ionic, about what it’s like building a framework that builds apps for mobile. They discuss the combinatorial acrobatics involved with supporting all possible options on mobile UIs, stepping lightly around a shadow DOM, and the difficulty of moving from a simulated device to an actual one.

Episode notes:

Ionic is a platform for building and deploying modern mobile applications and micro frontend experiences. It’s open source, too.

Two mobile tools got multiple mentions on this episode: Xcode and Material Design.
