How to create buttons in React Native depending on the level of desired customisability: the quick and simple Button, a more customisable Touchable, and the most customisable Pressable.

Button component is useful for quick prototyping.

TouchableOpacity is the most common way of creating buttons and other touchable areas, and is suitable for most use cases.

Pressable gives you the most control over the look and feel of your button, including customising the pressed state and text, as well as handling long presses separately from regular presses.

React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components.

Creating Buttons in React Native with Three Levels of Customization

If you already know React, then React Native is a great way to build mobile apps for iOS and Android. Of course, web and mobile apps are very different to build — but this course serves as your guide.

In this course, we’ll build a mobile app from start to release with React Native for both iOS and Android. Prior React experience is required, but you don’t have to know anything about mobile development to participate.

Throughout the course, we’ll be building a “Restaurant Review” app. We’ll use all the standard mobile UI elements like text, images, form inputs, buttons, scroll views, and icons, and we’ll show several navigation techniques like push, modal, and tabs. The app will make HTTP API calls to a server and will store data on the device with AsyncStorage. Finally, we’ll specify a custom app icon and splash screen, deploy the app to a physical device, and prepare the app for release to the App Store and Play Store or for ad-hoc release.

Build a React Native Application for iOS and Android from Start to Finish

Bash makes automation easy. Just a few lines of code can take care of repetitive tasks for you and your teammates. 

In this course, we’ll dive deep into the automation potential of bash. You’ll learn to leverage common hooks that open up interesting automation possibilities, like git hooks, adding functions and aliases in your bash_profile, and running scheduled jobs in launchd.

For example, we’ll write a git hook that checks package.json for changes, and if there are changes, the hook runs npm install for you automatically. 

Along the way, you’ll also learn:

- more advanced bash commands like exec
- syntax such as redirecting stdout and stderr to the same destination
- timesaving tricks like brace expansions

Automation is all about saving you time — and at only 52 minutes, this course is well worth yours. Enjoy!

Bash is a Unix shell and command language written by Brian Fox for the GNU Project as a free software replacement for the Bourne shell. Bash is a command processor that typically runs in a text window, where the user types commands that cause actions. Bash can also read and execute commands from a file, called a shell script.

Advanced Bash Automation for Web Developers

React makes it intuitive to build real-world web application. But in reality, you need to use a host of other services to get the app in front of real users. 

This course walks you through setup and implementation to get your cloud-based application up and running. 

You’ll learn to set up:
* a new project in AWS Amplify configured to your React app
* user authentication with Amazon Cognito 
* managed GraphQL with AWS AppSync
* image storage and retrieval with Amazon S3
* text translation via Lambda functions
* and finally, deployment of your application on AWS using Amazon S3

You’ll finish the course ready to quickly and easily deploy your serverless React application, so users can start using and enjoying it right away.

Building Serverless Web Applications with React & AWS Amplify

React Navigation makes the easy things easy and the hard things possible. This course will help you understand how to customize and use React Navigation for more complex navigation patterns.

You'll learn different ways to display content within the navigators, which demonstrates the built-in customizations within React Navigation. As well as learn how to interact with different UI components within React navigation, which will help you structure your application. 

Building off this, you'll learn how you can customize the default navigator behavior to provide a custom look and feel to your React Navigation application

To succeed in this course, you’ll want a basic understanding of the React Navigation API and how to use the default navigators.

Note: React Navigation has been updated to v2. This course was recorded on v1.x and the lesson code has been updated to reflect v2. The principles and patterns taught in the videos remain valid.

React Navigation for Native Mobile Applications

React Native Video is a community supported video element for React Native. It allows for remote loading of videos and also works with the React Native asset management system to load videos. Having a flexible video component is essential to developing and enhancing your application.
Like many React Native elements, the video element is very basic and doesn't ship with anything besides a flexible API. This allows you to develop the exact layout, controls, and custom overlays to match your application.

In this course we'll take a look at a basic setup. Then explore the different ways we can load and show videos. We'll show how to use a few of the custom callbacks to overlay errors and buffering elements. Because there are no controls shipped with `react-native-video` we'll show how to write custom video controls and animate them when the video has not been interacted with.

Finally we'll cover a few common paradigms found in the wild. Including repeating background cover videos, auto-playing videos when they scroll onto the screen and auto-stopping them when they are scrolled away from.

Fundamentals of React Native Video

In this course we'll explore how to create many popular animated concepts in applications across web and mobile applications. We'll look at both simple, complex, and subtle interactions that you can use to enhance your React Native application.


This course should empower you to look at an animation in an application, break down the effect, and rebuild it in your own application.


The ultimate goal is to show how using the basic Animated calls we can build out effective and complex animations that take your application to the next level.

Real World React Native Animations

In this course we will learn and demonstrate the basic concepts of the React Native Animated API. We'll use Animated calls like `timing` and `spring` to animate style properties, and learn how to combine animations to create more complex effects. We'll learn about more advanced interactions like animations with touch events, interpolation, and flip animations. The ultimate goal is to gain an understanding of how to animate React Native Views, how you can apply them to many different types of styles, and how to enhance the experience in your application.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

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.

React Native Fundamentals

In this lesson we'll dive into using some clever offset techniques to make a button that appears to be 3D. We'll add in some animations to control those offsets so that when our button is pressed/released the button animates in and out while playing an airhorn sound.

`launchd` is a robust scheduled job automation tool on macOS that allows you to schedule a task to be run at recurring times. It's macOS's take on Linux's `cron`. In this lesson, we’ll schedule a simple bash script that empties the Trash to run every Monday morning at 10am. 

First, we’ll create a plist file (a plist file is just XML) with our job configuration. In here, we’ll specify our bash script as the program to run. Then we move plist file to the `~/Library/LaunchAgents` folder. Then we’ll use launchctl to load our configuration file, which will make the job active. We'll manually activate our job to ensure it's working with `launchctl kickstart`.

In this video, we'll learn how to deploy an existing React Native application with user authentication powered by AWS Amplify and a navigation flow built around the authentication state using React Navigation.

Deploying Existing AWS Amplify Projects using the Amplify CLI

In this video we learn how to get started in a new React Native project using TypeScript, create types, run, & refresh the application.

Up & Running with React Native & TypeScript

AppleScript is a peculiar language with a COBOL-like desire to read like English, but it's the key to automating UIs on the Mac. We'll use it together with bash to make Terminal open a new window to run any shell command.

Run a Command-line App in a New Terminal Window using Bash and AppleScript

In [the previous lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/bash-run-a-command-line-app-in-a-new-terminal-window-using-bash-and-applescript "Run a command-line app in a new terminal window") we created a bash script that runs a given command line in a new Terminal window. Now we'll see how to use Automator to make an instance of that available as a menu item in Finder.

Turn a command-line app into a menu item in Finder

In [the previous lesson](https://egghead.io/lessons/mac-turn-a-command-line-app-into-a-menu-item-in-finder) we saved a shell script as a service for Finder. This service takes in files as arguments and opens them in Vi. Now we'll save it as a real Mac App.

Turn a command-line app into a Mac App

Smooth your workflow by opening Finder from Terminal and vice versa at a specific folder.

Jump from Terminal to Finder and back again

I can make a subfolder of the folder that is open in Finder,
but there's no convenient way to make a subfolder of amy other folder that
is showing. Let's add a Finder service to take care of that.

Create a new subfolder of any selected folder in Finder with AppleScript

Create a Finder service that takes whatever you've selected, lets you navigate to a destination folder, and moves them there.
