Sessions
In React Native, when people usually get excited it’s all about some shiny new feature, or tool, or clickbaity “do this to get 10x better!” claim. When announcements are made, they need to be catchy, sleek and able to generate hype… and how, for the Nth time, RN is better than tech X or faster than tech Y.
But that’s not all that is happening: under the surface, deep down in the mines of the foundation of this ecosystem, there’s a steady stream of work, discussions and considerations happening - all driven by the pressing need to constantly shift React Native into something more solid and better structured. In this talk, I want to take you down into the guts of these conversations, and shine a light onto some of these radical changes, how they are shaped up and what to expect in the future of React Native.
What is the new architecture? What excites you about new architecture? Problems encountered in old architecture. How to approach the new architecture and how can we use ... and much more!
