How to read this book ?
If you come from Web development, this book is perfect for your need. All the content brings the Web development concepts to iOS development through React Native technology.
But don't worry, instead of pointing you to reference sites to learn a concept, the book teaches you all from scratch. At beginning, i thought that i just need to write a `recipe-like` ebook that just guide you the steps needed to write some specific applications and maybe it's enough for you. But in the process of writing, my mind has changed also. The philosophy of React/React-Native is `learn once, write everywhere`, so it's nessessary for you to really learn and understand all those concepts before you master all the technology behind React-Native and develop your own iOS apps.
The good news for you is, after next 5 months, the Android version for ReactNative will be released, so you can naturally get all the benefits from this book to develop Android application also.
About the structure of all chapters:
- Each chapter begins with concepts from Web Development. And you will learn it by doing on Web Development.
- Then there is a part on transition to React Native development. And you will know which part will be brought to, which part is fixed, and which part is not needed anymore.
- The final of the book will use all the knowledges you've learnt to develop real applications.
What will be updated in this book ?
- All the updates from ReactNative development.
- All new libraries to use through ReactNative community.
- The book itself: When there is something that need to be changed, it will be changed.
- The Android chapters (In future after the releases in next months)
You will get all these updates for free after you buy this book once.
