React Native Project Walkthrough: Components, State/Props, and Redux

In August, Andrew Burke gave a talk about a big project he had done last year with React Native. In September, he demonstrated some of the difficulties involved in getting a React Native project started and running on multiple devices. Finally this month he will show you why all the work is worth it, leading a workshop on how to actually build applications in React Native.
