For developers with a web background, frameworks such React Native allow you to create mobile apps with languages you’re already familiar with: HTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript. This guide will help get you up and running with React Native.
With the ever-increasing popularity of smartphones, developers are looking into solutions for building mobile applications. For developers with a web background, frameworks such as Cordova and Ionic, React Native, NativeScript, and Flutter allow us to create mobile apps with languages we’re already familiar with: HTML, XML, CSS, and JavaScript.

This guide assumes familiarity with JavaScript. If you already know React, that's great, but you won't need it to read this book.
The book - although it doesn't require any previous knowledge of React, provides a no-nonsense introduction to a pretty complex topic. From cross-platform recipes for the environment setup, possible environment variables hickups, chocolatey, Genymotion, all the way to professional tips for teams working with React native. It is thorough, but not too long to discourage those new to React. Recommended!
