React continues to be the web framework of choice for many UI developers, second only to jQuery, according to Stack Overflow. It provides an intuitive model for building data-driven user interfaces, and efficiently updates the DOM when this data changes. React pairs nicely with Redux, which enables managing the data that React needs to render interfaces. Redux offers a predictable way to structure and update the data in those frontend applications.

React Native is an open source framework for building cross-platform mobile applications. With React Native, developers can easily reuse the same JavaScript code for iOS, Android, and the browser, with only minimal need to accommodate specific platforms.

Apache Cordova, since its release in 2009, has created a paradigm shift for mobile application development. Before Cordova, only developers who knew platform dedicated languages for a particular type of mobile operating system could develop native mobile applications. There was Objective-C for developing iOS apps, or Java for Android apps and platforms like Blackberry. Windows Phone also had languages dedicated to building their mobile applications.

March Mobile Madness continues with Performance support for React Native. Our friend, Jenn Meung shares how Performance supports his mobile appliction.

React Native has come a long way since an internal prototype at Facebook to where it is now. The cross-platform framework is now a go-to tool for businesses to develop natively rendered mobile apps for iOS and Android. Thanks to its reduced development time with hot reloading to its focus on runtime performance with natively rendered views, React Native has gained traction with large-scale companies like Shopify and Tesla.

React Hooks is a new addition to React which enables you to use state and other features of the library without having to create a class. By ‘hooking into’ React’s existing features, you can significantly reduce the number of concepts you have to grapple with, and you can create custom hooks to share all kinds of non-visual logic, making your code much more reusable.
