Learning Path: React And React Native

Build awesome UIs and mobile apps with ReactJS

React is a JavaScript library that communicates changes on a user interface to the browsers quickly, without having to re-render anything except the part of the display that needs to change. React Native is a fantastic new framework produced by Facebook that allows developers to create truly native applications running on both iOS and Android, all while writing code in JavaScript. Become familiar with the full set of core technologies behind modern full stack development using ReactJS and learn iOS and Android development with this Learning Path.
