What does a React Native developer do?

React Native allows web developers to use the React framework to write native mobile apps. React Native developers use JavaScript to write code that can be used natively across iOS, Android, Windows, and other mobile operating systems.

React is a mature and popular JavaScript framework created by Facebook. React isn’t difficult to learn, due to the easy-to-navigate user interface developed by the Facebook team. React Native allows developers to write native applications in the same way that they are used to developing React projects for the web. This makess it easy to port existing web apps to native devices using React Native. React Native developers work with React as well as with related technologies such as Node.js to create apps to design requirements.

What skills do I need to become a React Native developer?

React Native developers are expected to have a solid understanding of the JavaScript programming language, as well as knowledge of the React framework. Certifications are not necessary, but portfolios and commits to open-source projects help to demonstrate skills to potential clients.

Some clients might prefer developers who have a bachelor’s degree in computer engineering, computer science, software development, or other related fields.
