React Native: Advanced Concepts Course Drive

Note: This course assumes you’ve got the basics of React Native down.  Check out my course ‘The Complete React Native and Redux’ course, its the perfect preparation!

Push Notifications? You will learn it.  In-Depth Animations? Included.  Offline Data Persistence? Of course!

What Will You Build?

All of my courses are ‘learn-by-doing’: no boring endless lectures with Powerpoints, only live, interactive coding examples.  In this course, we’ll build three separate apps with increasing complexity, each of which will profile different features of React Native.  By putting each concept into a real app, you’ll get a better idea of when to use each unique and powerful feature.

1) Build a Tinder-like Swipe Deck. Yes, the classic animated component!  We’ll make a big stack of beautiful cards that a user can slide around the screen, swiping right to ‘like’ an item, or ‘left’ to dislike an item.

2) Dive into the backend with One Time Password authentication. One Time Passwords are a new authentication flow that leverages a user’s phone number as their unique identifying token.  We will use the Twilio API to send a text message to a user to verify their identity while securing our business logic into Firebase’s new Google Cloud Functions.

3) Your own Job-Search app.  Tinder for jobs! This app is 100% feature complete!  We’ll build an app with a full welcome-screen tutorial for our new users, Facebook authentication, and map components.

Both OSX and Windows supported – develop iOS or Android!

Here’s what we’ll learn:

• Learn the theory and practice of implementing complex Animation systems
• Bootstrap your app using the new Expo platform
• Navigate your user around using React-Navigation
• Engage your users with automated Push Notifications
• Enhance authentication flows in your app with One Time Passwords with Twilio
• Increase your app’s reliability with Offline Data Persistence
• Educate your users on how to use your app with Welcome Tutorial pages
• Authenticate your users using Facebook OAuth
• Go beyond the mobile front end with Google Cloud Functions: Add custom logic to your Firebase backend
• Locate your users with cross-platform MapView components
