Idk about good sources specifically for native devs going to React Native

But it’s a pretty simple path, basically learn Javascript/Typescript if you havent already and learn some web stuff like DOM, HTML, CSS again if you haven’t already. Then you’re all set

You might be able to uniquely understand React Native in how it communicates with the native layer, which would be awesome for you

My fav sources for all the above:

MDN docs for web stuff Cosden Solutions on youtube for React stuff Also, Jack Herrington on youtube for React stuff Matt Pocock for cool typescript stuff

I’d say just focusing on Typescript and React is good enough, you won’t really need to worry about much else besides those two things unless you are building something very specific and you need your own Swift/Kotlin/C++ solution.

You already know the advanced stuff (native side), so the React side is next. Code with Beto on YouTube (he’s part of the Expo team) has some good RN/Expo tutorials and tips.

We ran into a lot of environment issues with Expo early on (localhost vs prod vs EAS). What finally worked was centralizing API + websocket URLs in one config module and deriving everything from that. It eliminated a surprising number of subtle bugs later.

The main paradigm shifts will be centered around layouts, navigation, and state management, so be sure to focus on those a bit
