Mobile App Development with React Native

This course introduces beginners to mobile app development using React Native — the framework used to build apps for Android and iOS with JavaScript. You’ll learn how apps work, how screens connect, and how to manage data and state. With the help of AI, you’ll build real mobile apps faster, understand every step, and gain confidence as a developer.

Course Objectives:

  • Understand how mobile apps are structured and how React Native works.
  • Learn the basics of JavaScript and React for app development.
  • Design and build functional mobile apps with navigation and data.
  • Use AI to generate, explain, and debug code.
  • Publish a simple mobile app by the end of the course.

Prerequisites:

No programming experience required. You only need a laptop, internet connection, and interest in mobile apps. Basic computer skills are enough — all coding and setup steps will be guided with AI assistance.
