Conference

React Native comes to Poland

Mike Grabowski

First conference in the world to focus on anything and everything React Native. No web, backend or general purpose talks. We've seen it already. Community, core contributors, insights, networking and tons of knowledge - that's all waiting for you in one of the most beautiful cities in Central Europe - Wroclaw.

There are lots of tricky things with React Native, partially because of iOS and Android ecosystems. There are lots of unanswered questions hanging around, or just people struggling to find answers for problems that may seem trivial to us. This conference is the place they can visit, get answers to questions and go home start writing their next cool startup. And that’s the real purpose of the conference. I am excited for Callstack.io, the company I've founded, to be part of this transformation.

Getting Started with React Native [an all-day session]

About the workshop

With React Native, you don't build a “mobile web app”, an “HTML5 app”, or a “hybrid app”. You build a real mobile app that's indistinguishable from an app built using Objective-C or Java. React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React. In this workshop you'll learn from a React Native core-contributor as he guides you through the framework, ecosystem, syntax, and best practices to build a real-world application.

Topics
  • Introduction to React Native (setting up project, tools, debug)
  • Quick glance at the standard app
  • Core components (layout, styling)
  • Lists (ScrollView, ListView)
  • Navigation
  • Animations
  • Native modules
Note

Before the workshop, please follow the installation instructions to prepare all the software dependencies. macOS devices are preferred, but *nix and Windows powered machines would also work, although you won't be able to build iOS applications.
No React Native knowledge is required. Participants should be familiar with Javascript and ideally, basics of React. We will do a quick introduction to both before we start though.

Using GraphQL with React Native

About the workshop

In this workshop you'll learn how to use GraphQL as a data layer of your React Native app with Apollo Client. The workshop assumes basic knowledge of React Native and GraphQL. We will build a small application that uses an existing GraphQL API to interact with data.

Topics
  • Setup with create-react-native-app and Expo.
  • Queries and fragments.
  • Mutations and optimistic updates.
  • Pagination.
  • Persisted queries.
  • Schema first development.

Animation and Interaction

About the workshop

In Jani and Phil’s workshop you’ll learn how to bring your apps to life. In this course, you will:

  • Start with React Native’s animation primitives, Animated and LayoutAnimation, to learn how to create buttery smooth high-performance animations.
  • Dive deep into the React Native gesture responder system and the PanResponder API to understand how to build complex touch interactions.
  • Learn how you can simplify animations and interactions with third-party libraries like react-native-animatable, react-native-interactable and react-motion.
  • Understand how you can use animations and interactions to give your app that elusive native feel.
  • Build cool demos that will blow your mind!

Navigation in React Native

About the workshop

We’ll implement an application that will be composed of different screens and for that, we’ll leverage 2 different navigation libraries, react-native-navigation and react-navigation. We’ll showcase pros and cons of using each one, focusing on cross-platform, flexibility, developer experience, community behind it, deep linking and more! After this workshop, you should be able to assess with confidence which navigation library suits the best your needs, given your project requirements.

Universal React

About the workshop

During this workshop you’ll learn how to design shareable codebase, create components which are reusable between platforms and handle the differences in gentle way. We’ll show you tools to achieve reusability between web and mobile and also teach you the best practices in cross-platform development.
