A React Native crash-course, a promising alternative to Twitter & an interactive React tutorial
CodeSketched Newsletter - Edition #020
Hello there, fellow visual learner 🙌🏾
This is the post for the second week of April. It’s a little late because I was out for a trip on the long weekend thanks to Good Friday. In today’s edition we learn to build Android+IOS apps, a promising alternative to Twitter and a mini React course.
Hope you’re ready 🙌🏾
❶ A React Native crash course
We all love FreeCodeCamp! Who doesn’t?
Here’s a recent video from their YouTube channel that teaches app development using React Native so that you can create Android and IOS apps using the same codebase!
❷ Substack releases the “notes” feature
Substack recently announced the “notes” feature (I think their plan is to build Twitter the “right” way). It is essentially a place where creators and subscribers can create short-form content.
I tried it out and loved it. You might also want to give it a try here.
Drop me a hi 👋🏾 if you happen to join. It’s free!
❸ ui.dev releases a free React mini-course
As a prequel to the release of the full React course (which is coming later this year), ui.dev has released a free, interactive, short course for React.
You can learn about the history of frontend development as well as how React works while interacting with the creative UI elements all for free.
Try it out here.
PS: We won't be doing "Tweet of the week" from now on as Substack has stopped supporting Tweet embeds in newsletters in response to Twitter stopping users from tweeting their substack links (I think).
It's a nasty battle and I want to stay away from it and focus on content creation. 🎁 Extra:
Have you ever considered switching to a VPN for the safety and convenience it provides or just to access content from other regions of the world?
But did not want to pay up the steep monthly charges.
You are in luck because a lifetime deal on Goose VPN is up for grabs!
