About this course

Why students take this

If you already know React, React Native is the fastest path to shipping mobile. Sixteen weeks of one codebase for iOS and Android — same components, same state, native performance.

You graduate with an app live in both stores, plus the skills to read native iOS/Android docs when the React abstraction leaks.

What you'll build

  • React Native fundamentals + Expo workflow
  • Navigation, theming, layout patterns
  • State management: Zustand, Redux Toolkit, React Query
  • Native modules: when to use, how to write them
  • Push notifications, deep linking, in-app purchase
  • App store submission, review fixes, OTA updates

Outcomes

What you’ll walk away with

Every outcome below is something a graduate can demonstrate on the last day of class — not a vague promise.

  • 01

    Build a portfolio piece you can show employers

  • 02

    Get 1-on-1 feedback from a working instructor

  • 03

    Walk away with the workflow, not just the syntax
