Rahul Jiresal - Getting to Know React Native

Rahul Jiresal (https://twitter.com/rahuljiresal) has been a freelance iOS Developer (among other things) in Vancouver, Canada for the last 3 years. He recently moved to the Bay Area. At his new job at AeroFS, he (very reluctantly) started using React Native. The decision was made primarily to take advantage of the React code-base from the web app. A side-effect of this was fast and dynamic updates to the apps, circumventing the delays of the AppStore review process.

In this talk, Rahul will talk about react-native-auto-updater (https://github.com/aerofs/react-native-auto-updater), a library he wrote to facilitate dynamic updates to React Native apps. He will also share his experiences with React Native from an iOS developer's point of view, and how to take advantage of the platform to build Web, iOS and Android at the same time.

This talk is for anyone who is curious about React Native and wondering if they should try it out.

Every month, we meet for some tech talks and free beer. An iOS developer will present their talk and then we'll have an hour for networking and drinks. Topics will stay specific to iOS. Open-source projects are highly encouraged, no product placement in talks. We cannot hold the door open for everyone once the talk has started. You must be RSVP'd to attend the event.
