Mastering React Native
React Native has completely revolutionized mobile development by empowering JavaScript developers to build world-class mobile apps that run natively on mobile platforms. This book will show you how to apply JavaScript and other front-end skills to build cross-platform React Native applications for iOS and Android using a single codebase. This book will provide you with all the React Native building blocks necessary to become an expert. We'll give you a brief explanation of the numerous native components and APIs that come bundled with React Native including Images, Views, ListViews, WebViews, and much more. You will learn to utilize form inputs in React Native. You'll get an overview of Facebook's Flux data architecture and then apply Redux to manage data with a remote API.

It's hard to write an up-to-date software guide that isn't weighed down by verbose history lessons and abbreviated jargon but Masiello and Friedman have done so. Packt Publishing tends to be on the recently-wrapped-wound side of the bleeding edge so it's no surprise that many of React Native methods and APIs are outdated, that however doesn't diminish this book's value as an in-depth exploration into the ever changing landscape of React Native development.
Code snippets are explained line-by-line instead of paged together and summarized. There are often multiple ways of developing features presented rather than just a single my-way-or-the-highway example. Good stuff for React developers getting started in native or web devs seeking help or a refresher.

Gives you great overall insight into RN ecosystem (architecture, tools, techniques), hints, and introduce even state-management libraries.
