Learn to create speedy cross-platform applications with ease using
Webix. You will begin with an introduction to Webix and basic usage,
exploring the interface components and utilities it offers, as well as
the tools available (skin builder, form builder, and code snippet
testing facility).
You'll understand how Webix can integrate with other popular libraries
and frameworks including Angular, Vue, React and more (as well as
third-party components like dHTMLx and rich text editors). You will
learn tangential topics including communication with back-end systems
(Node.js and common related tooling), packaging as a Cordova app and, of
course, you will learn how to use Webix following the Progressive Web
App delivery mechanism.
Offering a complete solution in a single bundle, this JavaScript UI
framework provides a rich set of interface components, application
architecture direction and commonly-needed utility and ancillary
capabilities.Every topic will be taught a practical way, explored within
the context of building real-world working apps, not through unrelated
snippets. Bringing 25 years of professional development experience to
the table, author Frank Zammetti uses his unique levity to teach you how
to get up and running with this new and upcoming framework.
