AngularJS is a powerful JavaScript-based open-source front-end framework with a novel approach to building web applications that's completely unlike any web frameworks that came before.
AngularJS maintained by Google and a huge community of developers focused on solving the challenges of coding web apps. Its goal is to make development of single-page apps easier by supplying a framework that supports MVC architectures and robust suport for testing. It also comes bundled with many of the commonly components and utilities needed for rich Internet applications.
It’s a little dated now—the AngularJS team recently released Angular, a complete rewrite—but it is still perhaps the most widely-used front end framework. If maturity and stability are your priority, AngularJS is a great pick.

Ionic is one of the most popular cross-platform mobile app frameworks—and one of the most popular projects on GitHub. By letting web developers use their existing skill-sets to make apps for mobile devices, Ionic has enabled a whole generation of apps.
One of the reasons for Ionic's success is that it builds on the popular Angular web framework. In Mobile Apps With Ionic and Firebase, Envato Tuts+ instructor Reggie Dawson will teach you all about the Ionic framework and how to use Firebase to power the back-end.
Coffee Break Courses
We also have several Coffee Break Courses that will allow you to advance your Ionic knowledge in just ten minutes.
