Overview

This course is a part of the React Nanodegree Program.

After learning React, you can leverage the same principles to not only build dynamic user interfaces for the web, but also for native platforms such as iOS and Android.

You'll explore everything from setting up a proper development environment to building and styling the application. You’ll incorporate native APIs such as geolocation and local notifications, and even learn how to get your app ready for the Google Play Store and the App Store.
