Tools for React Native - Connect("Live"); // Q&A

with Jonathan Carter, Seth Juarez, Brent Vatne, parashuram N

Connect Live

React Native is a great way to build native, cross platform apps for iOS and Android using JavaScript and the Visual Studio team recently released a new extension for React Native! The extension is similar to the Visual Studio Code Cordova Extension that enables you to build, debug and preview Apache Cordova apps, and it's built by the same team.

This session will be your opportunity to do a live Q&A with the Visual Studio product team that works on the React Native extension as well as TACO (the Tools for Apache Cordova). Joining the team will be two special guests from Exponent, makers of the Exponent Development Environment - a suite of tools to help developers build apps using ReactNative

  • Jonathan Carter
    Program Manager in the Visual Studio team, working on developer services for mobile apps including Visual Studio Team Services, HockeyApp and CodePush.
  • Brent Vatne
