Mobile Application Development with React Native
In this course you'll learn how to leverage the power of JavaScript and React to build fully fledged native applications. React Native enables you to build multi-platform applications with JavaScript, using the same approach as you would when building applications for the web - it's «learn once, write anywhere»!
Learn how to:
- «Think in React»
- Build composable component based views
- Manage state using pure functions
- Manage control flow to make you application do what you want, when you want it
- Communicate with your backend and APIs
- Use native device functionality
- Leverage new React features like hooks and context to simplify your application
- Deploy your application
Some of the tech we'll use:
- react-native
- redux / redux-thunk
- axios
