React Native - The Practical Guide [2024]

Use React Native and your React knowledge to build native iOS and Android Apps - incl. Push Notifications, Hooks, Redux

[b]What you'll learn[/b]

Learn how to use ReactJS to build real native mobile apps for iOS and Android

Develop cross-platform (iOS and Android) mobile apps without knowing Swift, ObjectiveC or Java/ Android

Explore React Native basics and advanced features!

Learn how to use key mobile app features like Google maps or the device camera

[b]Requirements[/b]

React knowledge is a must (but you absolutely DON'T have to be an expert)

JavaScript knowledge is a must, next-gen JavaScript knowledge (i.e. ES6+) is recommended

NO Android/ Java or iOS (Swift, ObjectiveC) development experience is required

[b]Description[/b]

Mobile apps are one of the best ways to engage with users - no wonder everyone wants to build one!But wouldn't it be amazing if you could use your web development knowledge, combined with your React knowledge, to build mobile apps with that?That's exactly what React Native allows you to do!No need to learn Java, Android, Swift, ObjectiveC or anything of that - React and JavaScript is all you need to create awesome native mobile apps that work on both Android and iOS. That's probably the reason why Instagram, AirBnB, Skype and many other global companies are using it to build their mobile apps!With this course, you can join this league. I'll teach you all you need to create your own React Native apps, publish them to the Google Play Store and Apple App Store and dive really deep into the React Native ecosystem.You'll learn all about the theory behind React Native, its core concepts, how to build responsive designs that work on different device sizes, how to navigate around, use maps and the camera and so much more!And which better way to learn than by building a real app? We'll build the "Favorite Places" app in this course, an app where users can share amazing pictures and the location where they took them. This app will allow you to see things like using maps, the camera, user authentication, connecting to a server and much more in action.By the end of the course, we'll of course also go through all steps required to get it into an app store.Here's a detailed look at what you'll get:The core concepts and theoryHow to use React, JavaScript and native componentsUnderstand how to navigate in React Native appsA closer look at styling and animating React Native appsInstructions on how to use third-party libraries in your React Native appDetailed examples on how to use maps or an image pickerA full user authentication flowHow to connect to a backend server from your appDebugging instructionsAnd so much more!What will you need to succeed in this course?NO Android, Java, Swift or ObjectiveC knowledge is required!JavaScript and React (for the web) knowledge is required though - you don't need to be an expert but the basics need to be set (though there are refresher sections in this course!)I'd be very happy to welcome you in the course!Max
