S1:E5 - How to learn React and React Native on a deadline (Brent Vatne, Kim Goulbourne)
Kim Goulbourne shares her process for learning a new javascript framework, and the frustrations she experienced even as a seasoned developer.
Kim’s a designer and developer who’s always had a side project. But her latest project was a bit different. Not only did she have to learn a new framework (React), she had to learn it and build her app in a few weeks to make her very public deadline. She shares her process for learning a new javascript framework, and the frustrations she experienced even as a seasoned developer. We also hear from Brent Vatne on how to get started with React and React Native. And for a mini technical deep dive, we unpack the virtual dom, a key feature in React, in our new segment, the Coding Corner.
