React Native Blueprints

By: Emilio Rodriguez Martinez

Overview of this book

Considering the success of the React framework, Facebook recently introduced a new mobile development framework called React Native. With React Native's game-changing approach to hybrid mobile development, you can build native mobile applications that are much more powerful, interactive, and faster by using JavaScript This project-based guide takes you through eight projects to help you gain a sound understanding of the framework and helps you build mobile apps with native user experience. Starting with a simple standalone groceries list app, you will progressively move on to building advanced apps by adding connectivity with external APIs, using native features, such as the camera or microphone, in the mobile device, integrating with state management libraries such as Redux or MobX, or leveraging React Native’s performance by building a full-featured game. This book covers the entire feature set of React Native, starting from the simplest (layout or navigation libraries) to the most advanced (integration with native code) features. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build professional Android and iOS applications using React Native.

Right now, it is done with the help of React Native. He is also on a React Native core team where he helps to orchestrate monthly releases of the framework. At Callstack, he does a whole bunch of open source activities for the community, including React Native EU--the first conference to focus on React Native in the world. When not working, he enjoys driving his BMW on a race track.

Alessandro Molina, partner at AXANT.it, a software engineer at Crunch.IO, and a father of two, has been passionate about web and mobile development for the past 15 years. He is particularly involved in the Python community and is the author of the DukPy project, which runs React and JavaScript in pure Python environments. He is also a core developer of the TurboGears2 Python Web Framework and co-maintainer of widely used web development libraries and technologies in Python and MongoDB environments such as the Beaker Session and Caching framework and the Ming MongoDB ODM.

He was also the original author of the AXMEAS hybrid multiplatform mobile development framework, which is used to create mobile apps that run on iOS, Android, Windows, and on other browsers. In his spare time, Alessandro enjoys exploring big data and machine learning solutions applied to nearly real-time use cases and traveling with his family to learn new things, not only about software but about the world and culture too.
