Syllabus

Introduction to React Native CLI

In this module, we will introduce you to React Native CLI, explaining how it provides more control over your development process compared to Expo. You will learn to set up the CLI environment on macOS, run your app on simulators and real devices, and understand the core features of React Native CLI.

Firebase with React Native CLI

In this module, we will walk you through integrating Firebase with your React Native CLI project. You will learn how to set up Firebase for both Android and iOS, implement push notifications, and enable social logins to enhance your app's authentication capabilities.

Native Code & Native Modules

In this module, we will explore how to enhance your app by integrating native code and native modules. You’ll learn to use device features like the camera and gallery, customize your app’s branding with icons and splash screens, and add rich UI components like vector icons and SVG images.

AI Chat App | Folder Structure

In this module, we will guide you through setting up a well-structured folder system for your AI Chat app. You’ll also learn to use helpful scripts for development and integrate Reactotron to monitor and debug your app more effectively.

AI Chat App | App UI & Integration

In this module, we will teach you how to create a functional and visually appealing UI for your AI Chat app. You’ll learn to handle user input, manage chat messages with FlatList, and connect your app to AI services for real-time conversation generation, all while incorporating TypeScript for enhanced code reliability.

React Native CLI Deployment

In this module, we will guide you through deploying your React Native app using the React Native CLI. You’ll learn how to generate APK and AAB files for Android, set up OTA updates for both Android and iOS, and ensure smooth app updates for your users.

Animations with React Native

In this module, we will dive into creating animations in React Native. You’ll learn to animate elements with different effects like movement, fading, rotation, and size change, and explore how to build interactive and smooth animation sequences to enhance your app's visual appeal.

JavaScript Crash Course (Optional)

In this optional module, we provide a crash course on JavaScript fundamentals. You’ll learn the basics of variables, data types, operators, and control flow, as well as how to work with arrays, objects, and functions to build a solid foundation for your React Native development.
