Continuing to freshen up my popular Ionic Framework tutorials in preparation for the release of Ionic 2, I figured it was time to revisit how to determine network availability in an application. Previously I showed how to check for a network connection using Ionic Framework 1 , but this time it makes sense to do the same using Ionic 2. We’ll use the same Apache Cordova Network Information plugin from the previous tutorial, but this time we’ll evaluate how to use it with Angular.

Anyone looking to build a mobile application is going to find themselves needing to make HTTP requests to some remote web service at some time. It is just how the modern web and modern app development process is now. Previously I had demonstrated how to make HTTP requests in an Ionic Framework 1 application , but since Ionic 2 is all the rage right now, we’re going to switch gears and see how it is done in the latest framework version.

Previously I wrote about using Oauth within an Ionic 2 mobile application. However, for the typical user that can be a real hassle because it by far isn’t short. This is why I created the library ng2-cordova-oauth on GitHub. This library has numerous web service providers bundled in, making the authentication flow as short as three lines of code. Now some of you might be familiar with the ng-cordova-oauth library that I wrote for Ionic Framework 1.

I am pleased to announce that my third full length quickstart course, Native Android 101: A Quickstart to Building Android Apps , was published on the learning website Udemy. The course follows in the same direction as my Ionic Framework 101 and NativeScript 101 quickstart courses, but this time instead of a hybrid technology we’re using the native Android SDK.
