February Topic – Cross-Platform Mobile Development with React Native
In January of 2015, Facebook launched a framework for building cross-platform native mobile apps built on top of their React.js framework called React Native.

React Native allows you to use your knowledge of JavaScript and the popular React framework to build native mobile applications that work across multiple platforms.

First, we’ll compare React Native to a few other popular cross-platform tools, then we’ll run through a quick recap of React to get everybody up to speed and then do a deep-dive into the React Native framework to see how to make use of React to easily create great, cross-platform mobile applications.
