Preface
When my first React Native application landed on the App Store, I knew the folks behind this technology were onto something special. At the time, I had only spent a few days working with the iOS ecosystem and found myself overwhelmed with Xcode, Objective-C, and the libraries for iOS. My last foray into iOS development was almost 8 years ago and, with a background in web development, I was intimidated. I also knew there were lots of others in the same boat.
React Native changed all of this overnight. I found myself at home with a design philosophy and set of skills I had developed as a web application developer. Better still, my app wasn’t going to be a second-class citizen. I can’t stand rigid animations and clumsy scrolling. React Native is an open source toolset that brings native application development to the countless JavaScript developers the world over.
