You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great
This tutorial is a deep dive of React Navigation, which is the way to do in app navigation. It also goes into the best practices for styling your app and how to collaborate with designers for styling. The code for this tutorial is in GitHub.
This tutorial will show you how to get started quickly with React Native for mobile app development on Android and iOS. It focuses on Flexbox layouts, Navigation, and cross platform considerations. The code for this tutorials is in GitHub.
Redux and React are things that are normally associated with web development. Redux is a beautiful design pattern that can help with any application, even native ones! I used Firebase in order to do cross platform data synchronization across web and mobile clients. I also used Firebase auth and Material Design to craft a real-world app. The code for this tutorial is in GitHub.
This tutorial will show you how to use Firebase to to build user presence tracking into web apps. The code for this tutorial is in GitHub.
The purpose of this tutorial is to serve as a starting point for a real world React, Redux, and Firebase example. The starter project is on GitHub.

Overall, the API is pretty straightforward to use, assuming that you are familiar with asynchronous processing in the first place. However, if you are not familiar with asynchronous processing, then this business of callbacks can be quite confusing and daunting. Additionally Tomcat 7 and Servlet API 3.0 make it easier to configure servlets using annotations. There are other cool features in 3.0 that I haven’t covered in this tutorial, like loading servlets programmatically.
The best way to handle GPS is to use the “network” or “passive” provider first, and then fallback on “gps”, and depending on the task, switch between providers. This covers all cases, and provides a lowest common denominator service (in the worst case) and great service (in the best case).
Android applications run in a native Linux process, in the underlying Linux OS. This process houses activities (screens), widgets, and services (non visual long running application parts). When working with Android apps, it is important to remember to keep long running code running in threads that are not tied to the main thread or event dispatch thread, in order to get an “application not responding” error. A common mistake that is made is long running tasks are performed in this EDT/main thread, and this leads to lots of application failures.
