Hi! Caleb here. We’ve been talking about JavaScript and how it’s one of the top 3 recommended languages to learn for 2019. Why? JavaScript is very versatile and capable of building a large variety of applications: Backend development with Node.js, frontend development using frameworks such as Vue.js or React, and even native iOS and Android applications using React Native.
What do I mean by native? Native means the application is running directly on the mobile device and is not virtualized in any way such as a web app.
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.
