# Technologies Used

The components of the App are built using the core components of [Ionic](https://ionicframework.com/) and [Ionic Native](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/). The theme also constantly incorporates various other latest technologies.

* Ionic 3
* Ionic Native
* Asp.Net MVC C#
* Typescript 
* Node Js
* SQL Server

#### Ionic <a href="#ionic" id="ionic"></a>

[**Ionic**](https://ionicframework.com/) is a complete open-source SDK for hybrid mobile app development. Ionic built on top of [Angular](https://angular.io/). Ionic provides tools and services for developing hybrid mobile apps using Web technologies like [CSS](https://www.w3schools.com/Css/), [HTML5](https://www.w3schools.com/Html/html5_intro.asp), [SASS](https://sass-lang.com/). App stores and apps can be built with these Web technologies and then distributed through native to be installed on devices by leveraging Cordova.

#### Ionic Native <a href="#ionic-native" id="ionic-native"></a>

[**Ionic Native**](https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/) is a [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) wrapper for[ Cordova/PhoneGap](https://cordova.apache.org/) plugins that make adding any native functionality you need to your [Ionic](https://ionicframework.com/) mobile app easy.

#### [Asp.net MVC C#](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/apps/aspnet) <a href="#firebase" id="firebase"></a>

.NET is a developer platform made up of tools, programming languages, and libraries for building many different types of applications.

ASP.NET extends the [.NET developer platform](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/learn/dotnet/what-is-dotnet) with tools and libraries specifically for building web apps.

#### [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) <a href="#angularjs" id="angularjs"></a>

TypeScript starts from the same syntax and semantics that millions of JavaScript developers know today. Use existing JavaScript code, incorporate popular JavaScript libraries, and call TypeScript code from JavaScript.

TypeScript compiles to clean, simple JavaScript code which runs on any browser, in Node.js, or in any JavaScript engine that supports ECMAScript 3 (or newer).

#### Node JS <a href="#node-js" id="node-js"></a>

[**NodeJS**](https://nodejs.org/en/) is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment for executing JavaScript code server-side. NodeJS is a JavaScript runtime built on [Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine](https://developers.google.com/v8/). NodeJS uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient. NodeJS package ecosystem, [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/) is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries in the world.
