This course introduces Ionic.

React Native is an open-source, cross-platform development framework for building mobile apps. Developed by Facebook, it enables developers to create a native look-and-feel experience for their apps on both Android and iOS. Unlike other cross-platform mobile development tools such as PhoneGap, React Native generates fully-native application UIs. No HTML5 UIs.

React Native provides a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and the React (aka React.js or ReactJS) library and enables true rapid mobile development by focusing on developer efficiency across all platforms -- learn once, write anywhere.

In this course, participants learn the principles and approach behind React Native as they take on the development of their own mobile application for Android and iOS.

Audience

• Mobile application developers

Format of the course

• Overview of React Native features and capabilities along with step-by-step development of a mobile application.

Xamarin is an open-source, C# based set of tools for writing Android, iOS and Windows apps with native user interfaces and a shared code base across all platforms.  It allows developers to use the same IDE, language, and APIs everywhere -- anything that can be done in Objective-C, Swift, or Java can be done in C# with Xamarin. Xamarin was bought by Microsoft in 2016 and is included with Visual Studio.

In this training, participants learn key aspects of Xamarin as they take on the development of their own set of mobile applications for Android, iOS and Windows.
