React Native v2

Welcome to my React Native course! See the course website here.

If you'd like to follow along with videos for the course, you can watch my React Native v2 course on Frontend Masters.

About the course

This course is intended for students who are new to React Native, but not new to JavaScript. Some familiarity with React is beneficial, but not essential.

Expo or plain React Native

You will have a choice whether to follow this course using Expo or with plain React Native. I will have instructions for both. Most of the code will be the same, and I will highlight any differences. If these terms are unfamiliar to you, read/watch lessons 1 and 2 for context and then make your decision.

You must use Expo if:

You are using Windows/Linux, but want to use an iPhone to run your app

I would recommend you use Expo if:

You just want to try out React Native, but don't want to spend much time on setup

You should use plain React Native if:

You have time and interest in setting up the native development environment (can take quite a few hours depending on your operating system and environment)
