If you are a developer looking to create mobile applications with maximized code reusability and minimized cost, React Native is what you need. With this practical guide, you’ll be able to build attractive UIs, tackle common problems in mobile development, and achieve improved performance in mobile environments. This book starts by covering the common techniques for React Native customization and helps you set up your development platforms. Over the course of the book, you’ll work through a wide variety of recipes that help you create, style, and animate your apps with built-in React Native and custom third-party components. You’ll also develop real-world browser-based authentication, build a fully functional audio player, and integrate Google Maps in your apps. This book will help you explore different strategies for working with data, including leveraging the popular Redux library and optimizing your app’s dataflow. You’ll also learn how to write native device functionality for new and existing React Native projects and how app deployment works. By the end of this book, you'll be equipped with tips and tricks to write efficient code and have the skills to build full iOS and Android applications using React Native.

Who is this book for?

If you're a JavaScript developer looking for a practical guide for developing feature-rich mobile apps using React Native, this book is for you.

Demasiado código repetitivo sin centrarse en el tema que intenta explicar. Se podía haber escrito el contenido relevante con la mitad de las páginas.Las imágenes son en blanco y negro.No aborda librerías disponibles que enriquecen la APP final.

The code examples are piecemeal and in some cases even out of order. The out of date elements don't help either.

MR M J REGAN Oct 21, 2020

I was quite enjoying working through the book, however the depreciated ListView component has rendered an example in the 2nd chapter unrunnable. Clearly I could research and fix this, but that is what I do normally. The book was to enable me to get through the work swiftly, at which it has failed. The downloaded online example from Git did not fix this. A question on the subject from July remains unanswered. So all in all, I'm feeling a little deflated. Happy to amend the rating once the issue is resolved in the download.

My main concern with this book is that it uses outdated code. For example, ListView, React Navigation version 1 and componentWillMount are all deprecated, and the newer versions are substantially different. This is a pity, because these crop up throughout the text.The second issue is that the format is confusing. The code is described first once, as it's introduced, and then again, in a section explaining 'how it's done'. There is no obvious reason for this split. The format used in Manning books, in which the code is printed out in full, with annotations explaining each section, would be much more helpful.Third, as with all Packt books, the index is largely useless.On the plus side, this is one of the few Packt books written by someone with a good grasp of English. There are mistakes - such as wrong function names and the usual catalogue of grammatical and punctuation errors - which would have been caught if the proof-reader had done his job. However, unlike with most of Packt's books, this author is a native English speaker, so the quality of the writing is good enough that a few mistakes don't matter too much. One gets the feeling that he actually cares about the quality of his work, which is a refreshing change. Having said that, part of the job of a publisher is to edit and proof-read the text. For example, screenshots throughout the book are from the version of Genymotion limited to personal use, showing that the author hadn't bought a licence. This doesn't affect the book, but it does illustrate the total lack of editorial oversight.
