Top 22 React Native Development Resources You Need to Stay Ahead of the Curve

![](../uploads/2019/05/26-React-Native-Blogs..png)React Growth

Mobile application developers have flocked to React Native. One framework for multiple builds, faster builds, and a strong community are just a few of the draws to React Native mobile development for both experienced and inexperienced developers alike.

I’ve been working with React Native since 2015 when I launched one of the only software development firms dedicated to building React Native mobile applications with US developers.

I’ve invested time to learn my craft and follow other leaders in the industry, and I encourage every developer to do the same. This list that follows includes the React Native resources that I follow – everything from blogs and podcasts to thought leaders and youtube channels.

6 React Native Blogs Worth Reading

1 Facebook’s React Native Github Blog – https://facebook.github.io/react-native/blog/

You probably know that React Native was born inside Facebook during a Hackathon, so it should come as no surprise that Facebook is a fantastic resource for React Native documentation.

2 React Native Training on Medium – https://medium.com/react-native-training

The React Native Training Publication on Medium provides stories and tutorials for developers interested in React Native.

3 Parsed – https://parsed.io/blog/

Parsed is my blog (shameless pitch – get over it). We are solely focused on React Native, and I encourage you to follow our blog and get in touch with us if you’re as React Native geeky as us. We have a private Slack Channel for React Native nerds only, just reach out for an invite.

4 Airbnb Engineering & Data Science – https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering

Airbnb recently moved away from React Native, but their medium channel has some great content from some of their top engineers.

5 ReactDOM – https://reactdom.com/react-native

React Native tutorials, React Native courses, and React Native books to help you learn React Native.

6 Instagram Engineering – https://instagram-engineering.com/

Similar to Airbnb’s Medium channel, this is a regularly updated medium publication with stories from the people who build Instagram.
