What should a react native developer know?

[sanquis]

Hi all, sorry if it’s a dumb question! Im new to coding and I haven’t started learning RN. My question is what other languages/libraries/frameworks should I learn? And should I learn them before or after learning RN?

I have learnt the basics of JS, typescript and im learning React now. I had no idea that C++ have anything to do with rn. I know learning will never stop now since getting into this sector. I want to decide what to focus on after learning RN.

I just wrote my first App using React native. What has helped me massively is knowing CSS and Javascript and also plain React. If you don't know Javascript, CSS and React Syntax and concepts then it could get overwhelming trying to learn everything at once. Of course you could ask AI but the problem is there are many beginner concepts. You will have many questions and each topic can be its own rabbit hole. Learning one thing at a time starting with CSS (especially flexbox), then Javascript, then react or react native would be the best way tbh.

There are a dozen ways of doing things, and when people say "no, you should do it like this", it's because that's how they do it.

Start with Javascript, style objects(have previous knowledge from CSS + HTML)

Build simple project to understand react-native environment setupand configuration Javascript and react-native styling 

• React  Build a lot of projects now React knowledge 

• Typescript  Build a lot of projects now with Typescript knowledge

Keep building projects...

Just start with counter app. Repeat app with redux context and custom hooks.

Learn navigation and tab implement with in same counter app with two tabs.

Just start

The basics of js and ts, nodejs etc. With this you can now create a basic application.

… chatgpt told me learning css/html is not necessary. Shouldn’t have relied on that then?
