This one-day course is designed for developers who already have good ReactJS knowledge and wish to get starting in creating mobile applications using ReactNative.
The course journeys through setting up and application and development environment and covers the basics needed to create a simple application. After an instructor-led morning session, delegates are invited to complete a Hackathon based on some simple user stories. The aim of the course is that delegates become familiar with working with ReactNative, acting as a spring-board to learn how to build more complex applications in the future.
