Course Description

Learn how to create a Chat App from scratch using the newest JavaScript-based fullstack technologies!

You will first learn quickly how to create a public chat room that any user can join from the mobile app, and type with all other users who have joined.

Then we will expand on the app and create private messaging, in a similar fashion to Facebook Messenger.

We are going to be using technologies such as React Native, Socket.IO, Nodejs, Redux, react-navigation, and Gifted Chat UI.

So clear and well structured course. It is also nice that the instructor is calm and do not try to present some extra "show" like many other instructors too often do. Thanks!

Need to give some background on Prerequisites/required prior knowledge. I was expecting running in emulator and android studio. Bit disappointed about expo. I had to learn about socket.io before resuming the course.

Nice course, short and precise. Would have love to see how to persist the chat messages and indicate that a user has a message.

By Kastis Nikitas on 9/3/2021

I wanted more of sockets. Instructor spent time to made the UI prettier but very little time to explain the flow of sockets. Pretty disappointed. I would advise to update the course with more explanations and ... please, use another file for redux actions, not the app.js file. I have to watch other instructor now...

i am well versed with JavaScript and node and stuff so its pretty straight tutorial. However not for a beginner.

By Victor Scherman on 3/12/2021

Instructor explained things pretty poorly. Seemed like he was trying to blast out a more complex app quickly as opposed to actually teaching how to do it effectively.

By Tauri Laane on 12/3/2020

I really like that the author often explains difficult techniques even outside the scope of this lecture.

By GULCHIROY MATROZIYEVA on 11/8/2020

steps are really understandable and easy to follow , and great chance to learn socket.io to build a messaging app

By Nadeje Tabib on 4/16/2020

Cours précis, pour le moment je suis parfaitement et j'arrive facilement a obtenir le meme résultat

By Henrique Assunção dos Santos on 12/2/2019

I really like it, and i was capable to build the same app following the classes. I use RN cli 59.8 and works fine.
