How to Set up a New React Native Project
Tips, Tricks, and Tools to Optimize Your React Native Development Workflow
There's no lack of flexibility when you're starting a React Native project. You get to choose how you organize your project, which packages to use, which editor to use, and so on. It's great!
But it's also intimidating.
I've found this to be true while talking with over 5,000 students and through my own experience of building React Native apps over the last few years.
Flexibility is great. But it's also intimidating. You want to make the right choices so you don't have to fix things later on. In this 40 minute course I'll share with you:
- How I start a React Native project
- How I organize the project
- My must have packages
