React Native lets you build mobile apps using only JavaScript. It uses the same design as React, letting you compose a rich mobile UI from declarative components. In this class we’ll introduce the basics of this framework and highlight its pros and cons. We will also go over how React Native handles the differences between iOS and Android. By the end of the class, you will have built a fully functioning app that looks native on BOTH platforms!
