Part 1 Getting started with React Native

Chapter 1 will get you up and running by going over what React Native is, how it works, what its relationship with React is, and when you might want to use React Native (and when you might not). This chapter provides an overview of React Native’s components, which are at the core of React Native. It concludes with creating a small React Native project.

Chapter 2 covers state and properties: what they are, how they work, and why they’re important in React Native application development. It also covers the React Component specification and React lifecycle methods.

In chapter 3, you’ll build your first React Native app—a Todo app—from the ground up. You’ll also learn about using the developer menu in iOS and Android for, among other things, debugging apps.
