Greetings, friend! You’re a web developer, team lead, or engineering manager who has discovered that Ionic products are awesome. They have helped you build cross-platform applications quickly, made the app development process enjoyable, and solved important mobile development problems. You can see that Ionic would be extremely beneficial in your daily job, but are wondering how to convince your boss to endorse the adoption of new software. In a nutshell:

And with that, Ioniconf 2021 has concluded! Ioniconf, our online conference for Ionic developers and the wider web development community, featured twelve expert Ionic speakers and was attended by many thousands of Ionic community members.

As we look to the future of Ionic Framework, let’s talk about some of the improvements coming in Framework v6 and how you can get access to these improvements today.
