Learning by Reading

In the morning, when I have a few minutes left before I have to get up and do something actually productive I love to read a blog post or two. My top source for React Native specific news is reddit.com/r/reactnative. I get most of my articles from there, and the best ones I currently read are written by Infinite Red, who share their learnings in the React realm quite generous.

Reading also covers reading code: I often find myself in the React Native code, searching for a particular mechanism and trying to understand how it works, e.g. Keyboard events. Where are they fired, how does the data flow, how may I interact with them on the API level. This really drives my understanding of React Native forward.

To get more insight on what the Core Team is doing, the weekly published notes of their meetings are very insightful.
