Happy New Year fellow Ionites! We are kicking off 2021 with one of the hottest topics in mobile application software development, Monorepos. We will discuss the benefits of organizing your project as a monorepo, detail steps for taking an Ionic (Angular) mobile application and converting it into a shared-code architecture, and finally, we'll show the hidden secrets on how to configure Appflow to successfully build with a monorepo. This will be a fully online webinar that is FREE to join! Make sure to reserve your spot today: https://www.meetup.com/ionic-philly/events/275211507/
