Course Description
React Native for Mobile Developers provides a through introduction to hybrid mobile app development using the wildly popular React Native framework. With only 2.5 hours of engaging video lectures and all the project files used in the videos, this course is designed to take students with no experience in React, web technologies, or even JavaScript to accomplished and COMPLETE mobile app developers with NO prior web technology experience.
Why React Native? React Native provides a set of components and extensions that allows you to easily write native iOS and Android applications using the latest ES6 JavaScript. Its syntax is easy to read and understand. The philosophy behind React Native is not the same as Cordova or Sencha Touch. Although you still write JavaScript with React Native, the components you define will end up rendering as native platform widgets. If you are familiar with React for the web, you’ll feel right at home. And if you have written apps in Java or Objective-C, you’ll immediately recognise many of React Native’s components. In less than 2.5 hours, you will have the necessary skills to understand and write native hybrid mobile apps with React Native.
This course takes a very structured approach of teaching React Native. Everything from "Hello World" to production-level code is covered. Students acquire skills rapidly through a deep-dive in the world of React Native and JavaScript ES6 development.
Some key features of this course are:
- 11 lectures and 2.5+ hours of video content
- Learn React Native philosophy from writing your first program to say "Hello World" to building production-level hybrid apps the way Facebook does it while building multiple sample projects along the way
- Work with the latest and greatest JavaScript ES6 standardisation when developing hybrid mobile apps.
- Reflux design pattern to allow uni-directional dataflow.
- How to persist your app's data using AsyncStorage
- Asynchronous operations with JavaScript Promises
- Creating Responsive UI Designs with FlexBox Styling Framework
- much, much more!
By the end of this course, you will:
- Learn a new framework and increase your value
- Understand and transfer knowledge from Android and iOS development to Facebook's React Native
- Become a Complete Mobile App Developer
- Develop multiple sample projects to truly understand React Native through practical use.
- Work with production-level code in chapter 2 and understand how professionals in the industry are using React Native to build hybrid mobile apps.

A skilled, self-motivated, autodidactic, and "very" lovable individual with a deep passion for programming and problem solving in multiple disciplines of technology.
My experience in mobile development in both Android and iOS is outstanding. I've had the pleasure to work on a variety of different mobile projects where I've learned how to architect complex systems and properly utilise design patterns.
Moreover, I'm proficient at many advanced programming paradigms and technologies, such as Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE), Continuous Integration (CI), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), Reactive Extensions (Rx), Test-Driven Development (TTD), and many more cool abbreviations.
My current passion is mobile app security; I've had hands-on experience with security frameworks like Drozer, Xposed Framework, JaDX, and Santoku VM.

It's very good but it's become outdated because of changes in React Native regarding Functional Comoponents and Hooks. When I tried to follow what was going on using the default example app created by React Native I discovered differences and spoke to someone who explained the changes to me. The info here is still useful, just not up-to-date.

This course is only but a quick introduction to React Native. The good thing is that it gives a nice first approach to the framework for people only familiar with native mobile development, but it is definitely not enough to actually get into developing an app right away. I'd have like it to be longer, with maybe some more info about modules doing things that are standard natively - I am still lost on that point. Do note as well that it is quite an old course, so a lot of stuff is not really up to date. The teacher seems knowledgeable, but does not spend nearly enough time building stuff live, he is mostly explaining code he has already written - which means he goes over it faster. Also, there are a few editing problems to note. All in all though, I'm still happy to have taken that course if only because there are not many options for getting into React-Native from a native developer's perspective.

You can zoom a little bite more while using the terminal or editor.

Excellent intro... the tutor explains concepts very well.
By Hoang Pham on 10/29/2016
I think it is better if build demo app from stratch and after each lesson, add more features. Additional, give student some small for each topic. Anyway, good course thank you.
