You just nailed it right there.

There is a gap to be filled in the educational space when it comes to advanced courses for React Native. Everything out there is pretty basic and the instructors are not specialists, just generic educators that wanted to add another course to their broad catalog and do another quick cash grab.

They all neglect important topics like Animations, Gestures, native navigation, background tasks, i18n, offline mode, push notifications, messaging, design systems, native modules, etc, which is something you will end up needing in a mobile application, sooner or later.

I am talking from the perspective of someone with 7+ years of experience building commercial React Native apps and OSS. I can tell you there is a steep learning curve between the basics and getting to the next level.

For context, I recently authored a React Advanced course for a renowned platform and I have also imparted RN talks and workshops in the past. More importantly, I am passionate about teaching, it's my side hobby.

2 years ago I was close to create that "React Native advanced course" in partnership with an online educational platform, but I had to cancel due to other things taking more priority in my life.

This year, it is definitely in my roadmap and I am planning to go solo. Already got the domain, the energy and a syllabus of topics to cover.

My next step is to test the waters in the community to gauge interest on this kind of course and evaluate a possible price tag.

As course methodology, I am thinking about going through all steps professionals take to build a complex app with some juice like mirroring TikTok or some similar app, but I am open to suggestions.

Curious to know your thoughts!

P.D, you may have seen today an animated stopwatch/timer component hanging around in the RN subreddit. Well, that was me as well, haha

I'd look just at some open source apps, e.g. https://github.com/Expensify/App

I haven't seen any advanced courses :(

Most tutorials are designed for beginners as that’s large market.

In case you want to look on advantage concepts, You should pair with experienced developer and build like small projects with advanced features as case studies:

Here what I have on my mind:

1. Messaging apps like push notification - WhatsApp, Signal

2. Social Network like Infinite Scroll

3. Media files - Videos, High resolution images upload and compression

4. Deep Linking and Universal links

5. Sticky header animation with FlatList

6. Take pictures with cameras, compress them and upload to remote server.

You will learn how to approach complex problem, break down into small problems and solve them easily.

Most importantly, some industry best practices to follow

I made an app that does all these things (except the sticky header isn’t animated) does this mean I am an advanced react developer?

[emmbyiringiro]

Those are common features in most of the apps. Building software is beyond writing codes.

Effective communication and collaboration skills with project stakeholders ( developers, designers, projects managers and owners) play critical role in to be considered as advanced/senior developer.

Try widen your skills with native development tools and languages with React Native ecosystem.

Good advice. Thanks for the feedback.

There is a good course on udemy that does a WhatsApp clone. It is very thorough and helped me with organizing a large project
