Course Description

Interested in learning React Native but don't want to spend the hours and hours searching for answers to errors you've never seen before, hunting down the right packages, frustratingly asking yourself why you can't figure something so seemingly simple out, and becoming best friends with user90210 on StackOverflow?
This course is designed to get you up and running with React Native as quickly as possibly while introducing you to the most critical pieces of React Native development. It's not the end-all-be-all - it's designed to get you started fast while building a firm foundation.
There's nothing like building your first app - and that's what this course will help you accomplish.

React Native enables anyone with a computer and basic Javascript knowledge to develop native apps quickly and provide a user experience that no other Javascript based mobile solution has been able to provide before. With the likes of Facebook, Airbnb, Instagram, Tesla, and dozens more - there's no doubt that React Native is the right solution for your mobile app.
We'll cover
  • Scrolling lists
  • Designing and creating reusable components
  • Project organization
  • Navigation
  • Core APIs
  • Installing third party packages
  • And more
And we'll do this for both iOS and Android.
What if you've already built a React Native app?
Well, how do you feel about it? Are you confident in the choices you made? Do you feel like you've got a solid foundation of knowledge and experience? If so, then this course probably isn't for you. However, if you feel like you were hacking a lot of things together, pasting code from StackOverflow that you didn't truly understand, then you should consider joining.Who this course is for:
  • People wanting to get started with React Native and want a quick win
  • React Native developers who want to strengthen their foundation of knowledge
  • Anyone wanting to get started with React Native
  • Developers looking for an alternative to their Cordova based applications

Instructor Details

Hey! I'm Spencer. I'm a developer, cat dad, and devout pizza lover. I've been building web and mobile apps for a while using a host of different technologies with my current love falling to Meteor and React Native.
Teaching has always been a passion of mine - even when I was a 14 years old teaching survival skills (long story). I've since transitioned to sharing the technical knowledge I've gathered over the years and am looking forward to sharing that information on Udemy.
Knowledge is the most powerful force we have and I'm looking forward to sharing as much as I can with the great community of Udemy. I'm always happy to answer questions and I encourage you to reach out to me!

great stuff, simple, concise, teaches the foundations needed to build an app and points where to get more information. I would have liked to see some redux and state interactions so far.

By Eugene Villarreal

He is the best react native instructor.

By Michael Ostrovsky

A very good course and am learning a lot, would like for him to go just a tiny bit more in depth.

By Larry Boyer

Great explanations. He's not just directing cut-n-paste copying. He's actually explaining what's going on. Great teacher.

With an older mac os yosemite 10.10.5 these instructions were no sufficient. I had to install the Xcode 8.2 which was not compatible with yosemite. so eventually i upgraded my mac os to sierra and these instructions worked magically. thanks

By Griffin Boneck

Good information, It's nice to see the real development experience -- errors and all -- helps build additional understanding and doesn't leave you hanging with mistakes..

By Ryan Seery

Fantastic Course that helped me build on the little react-native experience I had.

By Rich Ravestein

Great course to really understand navigation plus many other useful concepts & technics.

By Fabio de Matos

Good pace, useful examples. I could get through it having very basic javascript knowledge.
