1
00:00:02,540 --> 00:00:03,460
Great job,

2
00:00:03,500 --> 00:00:04,060
you did it.

3
00:00:04,070 --> 00:00:10,070
You completed this course and therefore, you learned a lot about React Native and how to build React Native

4
00:00:10,070 --> 00:00:16,730
apps with React Native and its core components and its core features but also with many important third

5
00:00:16,730 --> 00:00:21,950
party packages, like React navigation, like maps or the camera,

6
00:00:21,980 --> 00:00:26,960
so all these native modules which you can integrate and you learned that all with the help of Expo,

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,920
an amazing tool that makes building React Native apps so much easier

8
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:37,550
but I also showed you how you can build apps without Expo, how you can turn your expo app into a non

9
00:00:37,550 --> 00:00:44,300
Expo app and that even when using Expo and getting this easier development flow, that you still get a

10
00:00:44,300 --> 00:00:49,790
normal React Native app in the end which you can deploy as a standalone app to both the Apple App Store

11
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:51,040
and the Google Play store.

12
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:56,870
So therefore, you now get all the tools you needs to continue your journey as a React Native developer

13
00:00:57,310 --> 00:01:02,780
and you are well-prepared to dive into React Native jobs, to build other projects, build your own project

14
00:01:02,810 --> 00:01:05,390
and of course because that's always important,

15
00:01:05,390 --> 00:01:11,390
keep on practicing and that would be my recommendation in general. If we have a look at the next steps

16
00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:17,360
you could and you probably should take if you want to continue with React Native, then the most important

17
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:24,140
step, as always in life and as always in programming, is that you continue practicing. This course gives

18
00:01:24,140 --> 00:01:30,470
you very solid fundamentals and the core foundation you need to be a React Native developer but you

19
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:38,840
always need to keep on practicing, build dummy projects, build simplified clones of popular apps and therefore

20
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,660
practice all the things you learned. You will encounter problems and challenges along the way and solving

21
00:01:44,660 --> 00:01:50,840
these on your own with the help of Google and stack overflow and the official docs and so on that will

22
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:57,730
make you a real and a better React Native developer. Now I already kind of mentioned it, also dive into

23
00:01:57,730 --> 00:02:04,690
those official docs, be that the React Native docs, the expo docs, the docs of a specific third-party

24
00:02:04,690 --> 00:02:11,710
package you're using and also explore examples, many third-party packages give you examples of how you

25
00:02:11,710 --> 00:02:17,410
may use them, in which different ways you could work with the package and you will also find plenty of

26
00:02:17,650 --> 00:02:24,810
demo projects on github for example by people who built dummy or real apps with React Native, so definitely

27
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:31,060
always explore those to get ideas on how you could build a React Native app with that. And in addition,

28
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,610
also explore other packages you could be using, alternatives to the packages I used in the course maybe

29
00:02:36,850 --> 00:02:42,310
because that again will broaden your horizons, give you more tools and a deeper understanding of how

30
00:02:42,310 --> 00:02:44,430
all these things work together.

31
00:02:44,770 --> 00:02:50,410
Now last but not least, it's important to stay updated because like everything in development, React Native

32
00:02:50,410 --> 00:02:57,330
keeps on moving, it's a moving target. We see new features, maybe some features are deprecated, maybe there's

33
00:02:57,370 --> 00:03:02,800
a new package out there that does something in an easier or better way than you used to do it, so therefore

34
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:08,230
keep your eyes open, checked the official React Native blog, check the expo blog if you're using that,

35
00:03:08,500 --> 00:03:15,190
check the change log or check the github repo of the React Native project to stay updated about changes

36
00:03:15,190 --> 00:03:21,760
that might help you in future projects or that might require you to adjust your code. Of course, as I

37
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:22,500
did in the past

38
00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:28,420
I'll keep this course updated as well and I'll inform you about important changes but not every change

39
00:03:28,420 --> 00:03:34,060
that happens is the React Native ecosystem affects this course, so therefore you definitely also need

40
00:03:34,060 --> 00:03:40,150
to stay updated on your own. Well and with that, you get everything you need, you're well prepared to become

41
00:03:40,150 --> 00:03:42,870
a React Native developer and I wish you all the best.

42
00:03:42,940 --> 00:03:48,820
I hope this course was helpful to you, I hope you got a lot out of it and I'd love to see you in other

43
00:03:48,820 --> 00:03:49,780
courses as well.
