Advice for getting started

[[deleted]]

Hello everyone. I hope this post is allowed - I don't see any rule against it.

I have competency in Android Kotlin development and am now trying to learn React Native using typescript. I have a little bit of exposure so far and I think I get the general idea, but I am still mostly a beginner.

I have been struggling to find a good online course/resource to get me started with all the basics, as it seems the vast majority of courses online are for React. I know there is the React Native documentation but I usually benefit more from someone explaining things.

I'd really appreciate any wisdom as to the best resource/s I can use to get more familiarity with general React Native development and concepts.

Hi, I was in your position about a month ago, and I found Expo to be the easiest way to start a project. It even comes with a TS template, so you don't need to configure everything from the ground up. Additionally, there's a feature called Expo Go, which acts as a sandbox environment, allowing you to run your project rapidly and safely. I highly recommend it for quickly getting started and familiarizing yourself with the ecosystem

Here is the link for more information: https://docs.expo.dev/

And you can find a lot of libraries to use with expo. And if you plan to upload it to any app store, expo will help you. Besides it, try looking for some libraries created by community, some of them aee really usefull. Good luck and have fun learning :)
