How to develop your first React Native Application?

Image
React Native is one of the most sought-after mobile app development frameworks. This Facebook-created framework has React as its base and uses JavaScript to build cross-platform applications. React Native apps share a single codebase for the Android and iOS operating systems. Developers write these apps in JSX and compile them into the native code. You’ll be able to customize this native code to suit specific project development requirements. As such, one could barely distinguish the cross-platform apps built with React Native from truly native apps. Since React Native development teams can target several platforms and operating systems with the same codebase and development effort, its popularity is sky-high. This framework also comes with multiple other beneficial features. So, if you’ve not yet explored this profitable framework, it’s high time to consider it for your next project. This post provides step-by-step guidance to beginners on how to sail through their first React Nati...

The web server offers continuous support and a high-speed connection. Internet users can view your website by typing website or domain address. Web hosting services are a necessity! However, it’s difficult to find a suitable web hosting platform that offers free services. This post explores the free web hosting services for deplo...

Reasons to Choose React Native for building Social Media/Networking Apps!

The React Native architecture proves highly advantageous for mobile app development! Before the coinage of the React Native framework, mobile app development encountered certain bottlenecks. One such roadblock was creating a unified codebase for mobile and web apps. Business brands that lacked adequate resources and funds to engage native development teams for crafting applications for Android as well as iOS; were left with one single option – employing web viewers such as Cordova or Ionic. And so, app creators had to settle down for mobile web apps or HTML 5 apps. Unfortunately, these web view apps were ported over version of the app’s website and failed to deliver a good UX – the user experience seemed fake and clunky.    The launch of React Native in 2015, by Facebook as an open-source project, came as a breather for app owners -  React Native development  resolved multiple stumbling blocks that were posing challenges in mobile app development. Have you ever won...
