Purchase options and add-ons

Get a practical introduction to React Native, the JavaScript framework for writing and deploying fully featured mobile apps that look and feel native. With this hands-on guide, you’ll learn how to build applications that target iOS, Android, and other mobile platforms instead of browsers. You’ll also discover how to access platform features such as the camera, user location, and local storage.

With code examples and step-by-step instructions, author Bonnie Eisenman shows web developers and frontend engineers how to build and style interfaces, use mobile components, and debug and deploy apps. Along the way, you’ll build several increasingly sophisticated sample apps with React Native before putting everything together at the end.

Learn how React Native provides an interface to native UI components
Examine how the framework uses native components analogous to HTML elements
Create and style your own React Native components and applications
Install modules for APIs and features not supported by the framework
Get tools for debugging your code, and for handling issues outside of JavaScript
Put it all together with the Zebreto effective-memorization flashcard app
Deploy apps to the iOS App Store and Google’s Play Store

A perfect book for learning how to get started with the React-Native framework

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is an excellent book to learn about the inner workings of React-Native, and how to apply it to your own applications.

Yes, it was published in Dec 2015, so it's not up-to-date, but we're talking about a framework that releases a new major update every two weeks; that's to be expected. Regardless you can learn what you need to understand and use React-Native, but if you don't understand React.js you will not learn as much as someone that does, as well as being able to focus on native-specific differences.

There is a github repo for the projects, so you can use those npm package lists that use the older react-native so that everything works as shown in the book. You can also start learning how to read react-native docs, and make your own updates so that the projects work with the latest versions; something you will need to learn how to do with this technology at some point in time anyways.

There are also maybe kind users posting errata with solutions on how to update the code to the latest react-native (0.28 at the time of this review), so you can quickly update the code if you get stuck updating it yourself; that is if you are using the latest libraries. I believe the author leaves the errata as "unconfirmed" so that users can see this errata, and is probably spending her time on a whole new book, instead of updating the current, as there have been so many changes and additions since react 0.11.4 (version used in book).

No matter what, this book gets you started in the world of React Native, exposes you to many resources, and teaches you the most important key points so to gain the knowledge needed to understand the framework, and easily apply it to your own react-native apps.

Good Intro to React Native

Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2016

Verified Purchase

This book introduces the reader to React Native which is used to build phone applications on iOS and Android. The book assumes you are familiar with the React framework from web programming already and generally familiar with JavaScript programming already. There is a slightly heavier emphasis on the iOS development than on the Android side, but both get sufficient coverage.

The beginning of the book explains the purpose of React Native and how it is different from React for the web. One of the main distinctions is that you can develop for iOS and Android simultaneously, and the author does a nice job of pointing out where you may need a specific component for one framework.

Towards the middle of the book there is information about how to style your app, how to handle touch screen events, and reading from different APIs. There was a lot of screen shots to help guide the reader and the examples were relevant. Deployment of the application is discussed in the later chapters.

I found many places where the author said that some technique is likely to be outdated soon as the React project changes really quickly. The author gives link suggestions where to find updates and I found this to be helpful.

For some reason the book is listed as 272 pages on Amazon although my print copy has the index starting at page 245. There are tons of screen shots in the book, while helpful, make the book much shorter than I was expecting. I felt some sections were skimmed over a bit too quick like Reflux/Flux which had only 4 pages for them. Overall though, the author had clear explanations and provides a nice introduction to React Native.

This book is your React Native primer.

I anxiously anticipated the release of this book and I can now say it was worth the wait! Bonnie's writing is clear and concise. She has a way of anticipating your questions with answers seemingly to be found on the next page. With this book Bonnie demonstrates a mastery of this new technology and a facility to teach. I was up and running with my first app in a few days. This book is your React Native primer.

Code is outdated

Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2016

Verified Purchase

The content is great, but almost every single code sample is outdated and several of the examples don't even compile. Also, most of the links to React Native's docs are broken. I really wouldn't recommend this book to someone who's an absolute beginner with React Native.

Mac based course for React users

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2016

Verified Purchase

Should be named Learning React Native on a Mac. Useless to me. Also seems rather dated already. Could also be clearer that this book assumes you are experienced in using React.

Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I like React Native concepts to build mobile apps. It's pretty simple and effective at the same time. While you have some experience with React, it's obvious you have to try React Native.

While I bought this book I wanted some short but comprehensive tutorial which brings me into React Native world. And it is. I like author's manner of writing. I needed just 4 evenings to complete the book. And I really enjoyed it.

Well done, Bonnie. Thank you very much for great job.

As with all the other O'Reilly books I have, this one does not disappoint. It has a very linear progression through the topic with ample examples and good, thorough descriptions.

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016

Extremely well written. This should be featured on Facebook's React Native homepage (yeah, it's that good!).
