React Native Crash Course by Wix

The React Native crash course by Wix is a self-learning course designed to help you learn everything you need to know before diving into writing production code in React Native. This course is part of the official onboarding plan for every new developer joining the Wix Mobile Guild.

The course is divided into 2 sections:

1. Learn the basics

Helps you untangle the environment setup, learn basics or refresh your knowledge of JS, React, Node, Git, etc. If you already feel comfortable with these subjects, you can jump straight into the next section.

• Environment setup
• Intro to Git & GitHub
• JS
• React Native

2. Build your first app

This step-by-step guide will teach you about the best practices and open source tools we are using at Wix and will guide you through building a simple blog app.

1. Intro
2. Build the app navigation (with React-native-navigation)
3. Adding the app business logic and state management (with Remx)
4. Style the app (with react-native-ui-lib)
5. Add e2e tests (with Detox)
6. Add unit tests (with Jest)
7. Adding a Native Module
8. Using shono
9. Performance - Tools and Best Practice

Here is how our app will look like:
