Leverage frontend development skills to build impressive iOS and Android applications with React Native


Key Features:

  • Apply flexbox to get layout and build rich animations that bring your React Native application to life
  • Integrate third-party libraries and develop customized components that run natively on iOS and Android platforms
  • Combine React Native with Redux, Redux middleware, and a remote API to build scalable data-driven applications


Book Description:

React Native has completely revolutionized mobile development by empowering JavaScript developers to build world-class mobile apps that run natively on mobile platforms. This book will show you how to apply JavaScript and other front-end skills to build cross-platform React Native applications for iOS and Android using a single codebase.


This book will provide you with all the React Native building blocks necessary to become an expert. We'll give you a brief explanation of the numerous native components and APIs that come bundled with React Native including Images, Views, ListViews, WebViews, and much more. You will learn to utilize form inputs in React Native. You'll get an overview of Facebook's Flux data architecture and then apply Redux to manage data with a remote API. You will also learn to animate different parts of your application, as well as routing using React Native's navigation APIs.


By the end of the book, you will be able to build cutting-edge applications using the React Native framework.


What You Will Learn:

  • Implement native React Native components and APIs
  • Explore React's JSX syntax
  • Manage data using Redux and Redux middleware
  • Build applications with React Native on both iOS and Android platforms
  • Perform animations in your applications using the animation APIs
  • Understand routing and Navigator comparison
  • Create your own Native module


Who this book is for:

This book is for anyone who wants to build cross-platform native mobile applications using only JavaScript and the React Native framework. In particular, this book is especially useful for front-end developers who want to use their current skillset to build mobile applications. An existing working knowledge of JavaScript will help you get the most out of this book.

    If you want to quickly and efficiently build mobile apps using react native then you’ll enjoy this book. The book walks you through the process of building a mobile application, while at the same time drawing comparisons between react native and common web technologies. The book presents a workflow and way of thinking about apps that really speeds up development.

    I would not recommend this book until you learn the basics of javascript and preferably some of the new ES6 syntax like destructuring, etc. I don’t think you'll need any experience with react - the book does a good job of going over the basic react concepts. The book also provides enough detail on other common technologies (e.g. redux) to allow you to build a fully functional state of the art app.

    This book is titled mastering react native, and it goes into enough detail that even professionals will find it useful, especially if they want to optimize their workflow / development process.

    The book contains many hyperlinks out to detailed notes and references on the web, so I personally recommend the kindle version. The links are great if you want to go into more depth on the topics covered in the book.

    This edition is also very recent and so the code examples and technologies used reflect the latest best practices. The javascript ecosystem is constantly changing so having a recently updated edition is useful.

    This book was great for reading in order to create my first demo React Native app. It was easy to follow and understand.

    I particularly liked that the book started without Redux initially as I found Redux to be rather confusing as first. Getting comfortable without Redux was a huge benefit to me.

    "Mastering" might not be quite accurate... I'd say this is more of a "Getting Started" book. Mastery would require several additional volumes.

    Great book on getting started. While the platform is young it definitely points you in the right direction to become proficient in the API's around react-native.

    Format: Paperback
    This book provides thorough and easy-to-follow coverage of React Native development. It is written in a mostly conversational style and follows a progression that makes it simple for the reader to work up to a full understanding of each piece of the React Native "puzzle." In fact, if I had to recommend just one book to use for getting into React Native, this would be the one -- it is, in my opinion, the best book on this topic in terms of code style, demonstration of best practices, discussions of alternatives, and logical progression. If I had to make one complaint, it would be that the chapter on navigation does not cover the newest form of navigation that React Native has officially settled on. However, it would be wrong to fault the book for this, because the newest form of navigation was made official after this book was released (and navigation has been a topic that has been very much "in flux" in the React Native community), and the alternative navigation methods discussed in this book do still work. Nevertheless, you may need to supplement that chapter with some reading about the latest "official" React Native navigation solution (called "react-navigation").

    One other thing: there is a 2-star review on this page that I don't feel is justified. The 2-star review is seemingly based on the fact that this book "assumes you own a Mac," and it complains that "they [i.e., the authors] should mention this fact." Well, the authors *do* mention this, in the early section of the book titled "What you need for this book." The very first thing they say in that section is, "While we will add Android support to our project in later chapters, the majority of this book focuses on iOS development. In order to develop for iOS, you must have access to an Apple Mac computer." So, the 2-star review seems unfair to me in two ways: first, it is wrong in suggesting that the authors do not tell you up-front that you will need a Mac; second, it is wrong to imply that the *whole* of the book focuses on Mac/iOS development -- Android is covered as well.

    Be advised that this book assumes you own a Mac. While building apps for iOS is impossible without one, and most of the target audience for this book will likely own one, they should mention this fact as React Native IS NOT an exclusive OSX technology.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Nicht für den Druck gesetzt
    Reviewed in Germany on March 28, 2017
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Inhaltlich ist Mastering React Native gut, umfangreich und vor allem aktuell. Aber leider hat das seinen Preis: Es ist ganz offensichtlich kein durch einen Verlag sorgsam gesetztes Buch, sondern einfach ein HTML-Dokument/eBook, welches durch einen automatisierten Publishing-Workflow auf Papier gedumpt und ohne jede Endkontrolle umgebrochen wurde. Etwa so, als würde man selbst eine Website ausdrucken. Zahlreiche halbleere Seiten, suboptimal platzierte Quelltexte, für den Druck völlig ungeeignete Farbschemata in Editorfenstern, die Abwesenheit von umflossenen Abbildungen, Fußnoten und Marginalien und viele, viele andere Details zeugen davon, dass dieses Werk nie von jemandem bewusst auf Seiten gesetzt wurde. Für ein eBook zu einem Bruchteil des Preises mag das völlig akzeptabel sein, da erwartet man ja nicht viel. Aber für ein gedrucktes Buch ist das schon armselig. Jedenfalls dann, wenn es so viel kostet wie ein Werk von Manning, O'Reilly, Addison Wesley und anderen hochwertigen Verlagen.

    Partendo dal principio della programmazione react per web (con una infarinatura esaustiva) ti porta nei capitoli successivi a toccare tutti gli argomenti interessanti e utili nella pratica dello sviluppo di una applicazione nativa, inclusa la comunicazione con server api che rilasciano dati/informazioni in json. Per quanto mi riguarda un must!
