If you're a web developer who has been itching to get into native development, now is your chance. In this series we'll be talking all about React Native. React Native allows you to build native iOS and Android applications in JavaScript and React.js.

Regardless of your experience with React, or even with iOS development, my hope is that this series will be beneficial to everyone who is starting out with React Native. We'll jump straight into developing with React Native by looking first at the ecosystem of building React Native apps - including Xcode, the iPhone simulator, live reload, debugging, and more.

Once we get our ecosystem set up and our hello world example running using ES5, we'll jump straight into building a fully functioning iPhone app which utilizes many of the best parts of developing with React Native all while covering React.js and refactor to ES6 along the way.

    What was your strongest take away from this course?

    Would expect to also see the differences between Android and iOS dev when it comes to RN fundamentals but it was a good intro nonetheless. Thanks.

    What would make this course a 7 for you?

    Tyler really explains everything so well and I know this course is a bit old but what I did and what I recommend to others is to build this application with modern react features such as hooks and perhaps typescript, this is what I did and you will learn a lot. Thanks for a great course Tyler

    What would make this course a 7 for you?

    Very complete but outdated at this date and the official documentation doesn't make match. Anyway, is a great starting point to collect ideas.

    How will you use what you learned from this course?

    This is a really good introduction to basic functionality for React Native, but I found myself stopping a video in the beginnning to browse the RN docs for a more thorough intro, then coming back to the video as an "in-action" demostration of the topic.

    This might be by design, and it's honestly more effective, but just a behavior I thought you should know about.

    During that process, I found that WebView had been moved to an external repo, so that video needs updating to explain that. I also found that ListView had been deprecated and FlatList or SectionList is now the performant version for List

    Can you take a moment to let us know what you expected from this course?

    It is out of date in many ways. It does a good job of summarizing how to build an app, but there are a few instances where current best practices aren't being used.
