A lot of attention is given to programming languages. Many companies list positions such as “PHP Developer” or “Java Programmer”. Those interested in learning how to code often ask what language they should learn. Developers themselves argue over the merits of various languages. Does it really matter what programming languages you know though? There are a growing number of people, including myself, that don’t take known languages into account when hiring.

More than a year ago when I started playing around with vanilla NativeScript I encountered the camera module. Previously I had even written a tutorial on using the camera in a vanilla NativeScript application. The NativeScript framework has come a long way and now includes Angular support so I figured it would be a good idea to see how to use the camera with this framework.

I’ve kept this on the down-low the past few months, but I’m pleased to announce that a chapter I’ve contributed has been included in the incredibly popular ng-book 2 ! The chapter I’ve contributed is a deep dive into NativeScript development for the Angular developer. After learning every possible thing about Angular development you get to take your skills to the next level and apply them towards the development native mobile applications for Android and iOS.

It doesn’t just take a good idea when it comes to making a great mobile application. Sometimes it takes a little flair in the user interface department to make a good mobile application into a great mobile application. For example, when you have a user login screen, you could just ask for username and password credentials, or you could include profile picture information as well.
