Captain Danko’s JavaScript Lab — Code Smarter with Tutorials, Frameworks & Dev Insights

In this post, I aim to show how to build a Java RESTful web service or a Java Restful backend that can be used(consumed) by a mobile app or a web site. Unlike my pervious posts where I explain a technical solution, I am going to structure this one differently. In this one I am going to try and tell a developer's story through it. Background Our story picks up from the time Cpt.Danko (Danko) returns to work after being away for 3 months on medical leave. At this point all we know about Danko is that before going on leave he was just a developer, all he did was write code the way he was asked to and he had very little responsibility. On returning to work, he didn't realise that he was no longer just a developer but he was actually "promoted" to a full-stack developer and had heaps(lots) more responsibility with the same old (low) wage. This "promotion" caught him by surprise as after being away for 3 months he expected to have the same level of responsi...

In this post, I will be talking about my latest Github repository(repo);  IonicAppWithRestBackend  and delve into details about what it is and the problem it aims to solve. Introduction The idea of this repo is to provide code samples for both the backend and front-end for an Ionic app that communicates with a REST ful backend. The aim is to bring many disparate aspects of building a solution like this(hybrid app that talks to a REST backend) and to be able to see most of them as one complete solution. Also, a solution such as this ensures you can test your Ionic app locally during development. Still not clear? read on to find out what I mean. Note: Once I started writing this post, I realised that it would be a really long blog post, so I decided to split it into individual parts in hopes that it's an easier read. In part 1, I will be talking about what the backend solution is and how to get it running. Motivation In 2014, I started working on a project with someon...
