React Native is a popular open-source framework developed by Meta for building mobile applications using JavaScript and React. It enables developers to create apps for both Android and iOS platforms using a single codebase. React Native blends the best parts of native development with the React library, allowing apps to render using native components rather than web views.

The framework supports hot reloading and fast refresh, which speeds up the development process by reflecting changes instantly. React Native uses a component-based structure, making the code more organized and reusable. It also leverages native modules and APIs for performance optimization and seamless integration with device hardware like the camera, GPS and sensors.

React Native is highly compatible with third-party plugins and libraries, enhancing its functionality without reinventing the wheel. With support from a large community and constant updates, React Native continues to evolve rapidly. Developers can also integrate it with tools like Redux for state management and TypeScript for static typing. React Native apps are almost indistinguishable from apps developed using native languages like Java or Swift.

It allows for cost-effective and time-efficient app development without compromising performance or user experience. Many leading companies, including Facebook, Instagram, and Airbnb, have adopted React Native for their mobile solutions. This course covers fundamental concepts, UI design, navigation, API integration, and deployment. It provides practical knowledge through hands-on projects, equipping learners with the skills needed to build fully functional cross-platform mobile applications.
