Solving Common Development Challenges with React Native Applications
with Jonathan Lebensold
Overview
How do I manage my layout and styles? How do I get data from a web server? How do I perform simple animations? These are three sets of challenges that face virtually every app developer today. This course will solve these challenges, making it possible for you to create your native apps in a faster and easier way. You'll learn about the React Native classes for handling style sheets, getting hardware information, and communicating with the web. You'll also explore React Native's open source ecosystem and build a simple GraphQL client, as well as examine the lesser known features of React that enable you to build sophisticated interpolations and manage animations. Learners should have basic web programming experience using JavaScript.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
