React Native in Action

Learn how to utilize your existing JavaScript skills to create rich cross-platform mobile apps.

about the technology

React Native gives mobile and web developers the power of "and." Write your app once and easily deploy it to iOS and Android and the web. React Native apps compile into platform-specific code, reducing development time, effort, and cost! And because you're using JavaScript and the React framework, you benefit from a huge ecosystem of tools, expertise, and support.
