00:00:00Â The existence of React Native makes React one of the most valuable skills to have.
00:00:05Â It's crazy that about 75% of your knowledge from learning to make websites can carry over to building mobile applications.
00:00:13Â That's exactly what I said in 2023. And it's more true now than ever before.
00:00:19Â You may not believe it, but what we do now in Next.js, we can also do in React Native too.
00:00:25Â Same file-based routing, structure, API routes, and even React server components.
00:00:31Â So, hi there, and welcome to a brand new Ultimate Crash Course, where you'll learn the foundations of React Native, the newest features it offers,
00:00:40Â and also deploy a sleek, full-stack app using it.
00:00:43Â The first part of this video is the Ultimate Crash Course on React Native.
00:00:48Â We'll start by going over the benefits of using React Native and why it has become such a popular choice for developing both iOS and Android applications.
00:00:57Â Next, we'll dive into Expo, a tool that lets us get our application up and running quickly and easily.
00:01:03Â After that, we'll cover the fundamentals of React Native.
00:01:06Â We'll discuss its different elements, how it compares to React.js as well as Next.js, code structure, file-based routing,
00:01:13Â styling, and much more.
00:01:15Â By the end of this course, you'll have a great understanding of React Native and you'll be able to create your own apps using this powerful tool.
00:01:23Â Alongside this video in the description below, I've also prepared the ultimate React Native guide that covers everything you need to know to become a fantastic developer.
00:01:32Â The guide covers the complete React Native roadmap, prerequisites, and essential React Native components and project ideas you can build and deploy to
00:01:41Â get a job.
00:01:42Â You can download the guide and use it as a reference whenever you're unsure what to do next.
00:01:47Â Of course, the guide is completely free and once again, the link is in the description.
00:01:52Â Immediately after, I'll put your skills to the test in the JavaScript Mastery style by teaching you how to build and deploy a complete full-stack React
00:02:00Â Native application.
00:02:01Â That's the only way to retain and expand on your knowledge.
00:02:05Â The application you'll build is called Aura, a full-stack platform to share AI-generated stock videos with a visually appealing onboarding screen,
00:02:14Â robust authentication system, including both sign-in and sign-up screens.
00:02:18Â Dynamic home screen showcasing the latest videos in an animated flat list with a comprehensive list of all videos with playback.
00:02:26Â Pool to refresh functionality.
00:02:28Â Full text search capability with a dedicated search screen.
00:02:32Â Tab navigation for seamless browsing.
00:02:34Â A post-creation screen where you'll learn how to upload videos and images.
00:02:38Â And a profile screen offering detailed insights into your account.
00:02:42Â This 8-screen app, for sure, has to be one of the best YouTube apps you can build with React Native.
00:02:48Â you won't need any previous React knowledge.
00:02:51Â Rather, while building this, you'll learn basic elements like view, touchable, image, flat list, scroll view, safe area view,
00:02:59Â text input and status bar, animations using animatable, responsive design, styling using stylesheet and Tailwind CSS, file-based and dynamic routing using
00:03:10Â nested routes and layouts.
00:03:12Â tab and stack navigation, custom hooks and fonts, video players, file pickers, professional code architecture, and a backend using AppWrite.
00:03:21Â An open source platform that lets you add auth, database, storage, and more so you can build powerful full stack applications.
00:03:29Â Before we dive into the crash course, let's first create an account on AppWrite.
00:03:33Â In the description down below, you can find a special link that will allow you to follow along and see exactly what I'm seeing in this video so you won't
00:03:40Â get stuck.
00:03:41Â Click get started, sign in with GitHub, and that's it.
00:03:44Â Now, let's dive straight into the crash course.
