reactNative

React Native is a well-known mobile application development framework that allows developers to create rich, cross-platform mobile application UI using reusable components. It's ideal for building mobile applications and supports multi-platform reusable code, pre-built components, and a rich UI. Most well-known social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, have been built using React Native. 

In this course, you’ll start with a brief introduction to React Native and then cover various built-in components of React Native categorized into different categories such as basic, user interface, user interaction, and list view components. Next, you’ll learn about concepts such as application styling, navigation, Hooks, state management, and database management. You’ll find interactive quizzes and challenges throughout the course to test your understanding.

By the end of this course, you’ll be able to develop mobile applications and kickstart your journey as a React Native developer.

Getting Started with Mobile App Development with React Native

# What have we learned?

This chapter started with a brief introduction to the basic components provided by React Native, and we learned about the functionality provided by these basic components.

We then discussed each basic component, `View`, `Text`, `Image`, `TextInput`, `ScrollView`, and `StyleSheet`, in detail. In each individual lesson, we covered:

- How to use the `View` component to display text, images, and other components on the screen.

- How to use the `Text` component to display static text or dynamic text on the screen and how to format text in various ways, such as applying fonts or text styling options.

- How to use the `Image` component to provide visual elements that visually convey information.

- How to take input from the users using the `TextInput` component.

- How to add vertical and horizontal scrolling ability to React Native applications.

- How to use the `StyleSheet` component to style basic components in the application in a way that is consistent across platforms and devices.

- How to customize the functionality of the components using props.

Finally, we tested our concepts by practically applying them inside coding playgrounds.

Here's a quick summary of what we learned in this chapter.
