What is an Ionic Framework developer?
Ionic is a complete, open-source software development kit (SDK), or hybrid mobile app development framework, built with Apache Cordova and AngularJS that allows for rapid prototyping and building of mobile apps that work on both iOS and Android. An Ionic Framework developer can use web technologies such as HTML5, CSS, and Sass to build cross-platform mobile apps that take advantage of all the functionality offered by native mobile SDKs, tailor apps for iOS or Android, and deploy them through Cordova.
