This course will teach you how to create from scratch a simple login application using React Native.

You will get a step-by-step demonstration of solving some of the most common problems we encounter when building an application, including:

* project setup
* screen navigation
* user authorization
* state management

This course is perfect for beginners in mobile applications programming, and those who want to improve their React Native skills.

I came up with the idea for this course because React Native is the most popular cross-platform framework (according to JetBrains’ The State of Developer Ecosystem 2020, 42% of developers use it for their mobile apps). The popularity comes from the fact that developers still write with React code, but it’s shared across iOS and Android.

This course contains all the knowledge you need to create production-ready applications that can be released to the App Store and Google Play. I'll be introducing many tools that are commonly used when it comes to React Native applications, and that knowledge may come in handy in other projects as well.

This is how final product of this course looks like:

I hope to see you in the course!

In this course we are going to create from scratch a simple login application using React Native.

Creating a React Native Login

Importance of setting up development environment.

How to use design system (react-native-paper).

How to implement authorization with Firebase.

How to add bottom navigation and drawer menu.

In this lesson we start from the absolute basics. We are going to install all the necessary libraries and set up our project.

If you have previously worked with JavaScript, then you probably have Node installed on your device. If not, please visit the 

If you want to check your current Node JS version, simply use this command in your terminal:

I recommend using Node JS version 10 since it is the one I'll be using in this course.

For creating our React Native project we are going to use 

 which is an open-source platform for making native apps for Android and iOS using JavaScript and React.

There is also a way to create projects using React Native CLI but it has some drawbacks and if you are a beginner, I would not recommend doing it that way just yet.

Expo simplifies most of the time-consuming work like building your app and releasing it to the App Store and Google Play. It also doesn't require you to modify any of the native code using Xcode or Android Studio.

# Creating your project with Expo

In this lesson we start from the absolute basics. We are going to install all the necessary libraries and set up our project.

If you have previously worked with JavaScript, then you probably have Node installed on your device. If not, please visit the [Node JS website](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) and install it.

If you want to check your current Node JS version, simply use this command in your terminal:

```shell
node --version
```

I recommend using Node JS version 10 since it is the one I'll be using in this course.

For creating our React Native project we are going to use [Expo](https://expo.io/) which is an open-source platform for making native apps for Android and iOS using JavaScript and React.

There is also a way to create projects using React Native CLI but it has some drawbacks and if you are a beginner, I would not recommend doing it that way just yet.
