Getting Started: React Native

What’s This?

I help you learn Facebook’s React Native, the second-most popular cross-platform framework for building native iOS & Android applications from one codebase.

Alternatives

Use Google’s Flutter.

Learning React Native

The React Native website is a good starting point. React Native uses JavaScript to create mobile applications.

Learning JavaScript

• The MDN Web Docs (the site formerly known as “Mozilla Developer Network”) has various tutorials based on your skill level.
• academind has a JavaScript course with 40 hours of video. The same course is on Udemy, where it may be cheaper in a sale.

Learning TypeScript

TypeScript mixes “some Java into JavaScript”, such as types. Hence the name! You have to use TypeScript if you use Angular. And you can use it with React.

You can take a peek in the “TypeScript for Java/C# Programmers” article. If you like it, then the TypeScript handbook is your friend, also in Epub and PDF.

Learning React Native

• The React site has a guide that describes most aspects of React Native.
• Academind has a free 3.5h crash course on YouTube.
• Academind also has a full React course with 27 hours of video. The same course is on Udemy, where it may be cheaper in a sale.
