MobileFirst Platform Foundation 7.1 Labs


Comrade

During this lab session you will create the "Comrade" application. This app will be using adapter-based authentication, an HTTP JavaScript adapter and the recently introduced Cordova application project.

Development will be done using the Ionic Framework, MobileFirst Platform CLI and Atom as the main IDE.

You will also learn how to use Mobile Quality Assurance service on IBM Cloud. The application development will start with UI preparation using the Ionic Creator drag’n’drop tool. The created UI project will be then migrated to a MobileFirst platform Cordova application project and you will continue development from there.

Inclusive terminology note: The Mobile First Platform team is making changes to support the IBM® initiative to replace racially biased and other discriminatory language in our code and content with more inclusive language. While IBM values the use of inclusive language, terms that are outside of IBM's direct influence are sometimes required for the sake of maintaining user understanding. As other industry leaders join IBM in embracing the use of inclusive language, IBM will continue to update the documentation to reflect those changes.
