(#LEftOvers)

Cost of native app development is too damn high!!

DEVELOPER SALARIES IN UNITED STATES

ANDROID DEVELOPER

IOS DEVELOPER

JAVASCRIPT DEVELOPER

Average cost of employing iOS, Android, and JavaScript developers in the United States (http://www.indeed.com/salary, http://www.payscale.com/research/US/Skill=JavaScript/Salary)

So what does that mean for us?

1>    90% of Time on Mobile is Spent in Apps

2> There are 2.5 billion people on mobile phones in the world right now. That number is going to be 5 billion sooner than we think.

3> Software maintenance is a pain. Separate code base has to be managed.

4> Ios vs React Native app development

Interest over time

#Dont "REACT" to everything

A very big problem with React Native

A lot of pieces of functionality or modules are not developed enough in React Native.

for example,
No proper SDK in react for using core Bluetooth & WIFI features.

THE SOLUTION YOU ASK?

HERE IS THE BRIDGE

Now get over it!

My first project- BLUETOOTH MESH NETWORK

http://underdark.io/

We bridged this Native Library in React Native

GIT IOS-        https://github.com/udark/underdark-cocoa/

    GIT ANDROID-        https://github.com/udark/underdark-android/

My Second Project- VIRTUAL REALITY

Bridging Google's cardboard sdk

Step 1 - Make a UI component in Native Code

Step 2 - Export this component to React Native

Step 3 - Use this component in React Native

and no this is NOT it!

Treasure hunt app (Google cardboard)

This is what VR View Looks like in React Native

We are wizards of the future

Getting to the 'WE' of the situation

Who are we?

We build entirely new worlds

We make stuff happen

We get things working
