Learning React Native: Building Native Mobile Apps with JavaScript

By bringing the advantages of ReactJS to mobile, React Native transforms every web developer into a potential mobile developer. Unlike existing JavaScript-for-mobile approaches, React Native actually renders natively, giving you the speed, look, and feel of a native mobile application.

With this practical book, web developers and frontend software engineers will learn how to use native UI elements, platform APIs (such as geolocation and local storage), and platform-specific design patterns to build high-quality mobile applications. This book focuses on iOS-based examples, but you’ll leave armed with the principles necessary to use React Native effectively on all mobile platforms.

• Write high-quality, native mobile applications with React Native
• Build UIs using the platform’s UI library, styling with Flexbox, and inline styles
• Learn how to workflow and debugging work effectively in React Native
• Deploy your React Native apps to the App Store
