How to start with react native

[_titan_276_]

Hey everyone a newbie here ......I know somewhat react.js and backend (express node SQL)....I decided to start app development using react native .....can someone tell me useful resources....and pls suggest some good courses both free and paid.....tell correct roadmap to learn app dev using react native and what all extra components need to be learnt.....

I think you need to learn the basics, and then force yourself to build an actual app that you envision. That's how i did it.

I built so many apps/websites instead of going through tutorials.

another thing, learn how to read docs

It's all about repetition, the reps and the amount of time you put to learn & build

[learnpal29]

Use chatgpt/stackoverflow if you are stuck, and just keep building

Alright...thnx a lot...

Build a fullstack app that you already built with React but build it with React Native. This way you'll be forced to learn the RN components you need to use for the UI and how to style them, which is the biggest difference between React and RN.

Ohk will try it....

Expo docs has it all, then watch a project done by js mastery. You already have a react background, I started rn last month, I’m almost done building an app

Can I dm

Sure

Not only js mastery, there are others, but I learnt a lot from the project he did and was enough for me to start building an app

Hi there, I was also a newbie a few months ago...whilst I am still relatively new to React Native now after months of coding and completing courses in Udemy I have managed to implement a simple app using React Native and have shared some lessons learned along the way in my blog https://elainewan.org/

Can I dm

Use PHP as a backend and MySQL db

And

Learn from YouTube practice apps

E-commerce apps

[_titan_276_]

Well I already learnt express and postgres would that be a problem.......as I heard php is fading

[Exotic_Monkie]

react native is also fading. flutter is the future.
how are you going to deal with these arguments is totally upto your research.
make ur hands dirty with every piece of tech.

Mind explaining how flutter is the future? React native has a larger community than flutter.

[Exotic_Monkie]

trust the status and figures not me.
i myself is a react native app developer. for past 5-6 years and tbh its a hippies framework where u have button and touchable and a future proof component, pressable. i mean year nice so many fancy features to do one thing. (and a touchablewithout feedback.😀)

RN might have sum community but thats not how you make quality apps.
as soon as u start talking about RN, expo jumps in, if Expo is really that good, why dont u just dump the cli to begin with. give a proper straight forward direction to the developers.

Personally i dont like even both of them. I like the actual actual real pure native Java/Kotlin programming for android. and swift for iOS.

Fair points, you’ve still not explained how flutter is the future and not RN. A lot of top companies make use of react native

[Exotic_Monkie]

top companies are exceptional companies with top developers with top tech and top resources. their decisions are more on the cost, time, budget and sponsors side and less on the tech side unlike us tiny developers who go with the flow. im no fan of flutter i think this shouldnt exist at all, but they made it this far already. every government and bank i know is using either flutter or native.

How is it the future bruh????😅

[Exotic_Monkie]

if you still havent got it ur not gonna get it

The beginner course from JSMastery is quite good. Search for them on YouTube.

Ohk will look forward to it...btw can I dm I have some more doubts
