Sam Ollason - My experience building mobile apps with React Native and Swift

React is a powerful JavaScript library for creating rich user interfaces. It was originally developed for the web for websites like Facebook and Instagram.

React Native is a way of using the same React technology to create mobile apps that automatically work on different platforms.

I share my experiences and the lessons l learnt from creating apps with React Native and talk about how it compares to developing native iOS apps and working with React for the web.
