Good framework to study for fast mobile app Dev

Question

hi
I've been learning coding on and off for about 7 years. I never really dive deep enough in to fully comprehend programming, object oriented design etc. I've been product lead on a site built ground up in php (not Dev, site was my idea and I've worked with ppl to build it).

I'm a designer by trade and work in a web space. and I'm looking for a powerful framework I can study to quickly prototype my ideas and test with customers. speed to learning (about customer pull) is key here. also love this site!

Answer 1

I think React Native is quite suit you. It allow you to build native app from Javascript. It's the only Javascript framework that build native apps, other framework like Ionic only builds hybrid apps.

React Native uses ReactJS framework. If you understand ReactJS, it should be easy for you take up React Native.

Answer 3

I was looking today, it's bootstrap inspired right ?

Answer 4

looks cool! I dived into js and I was getting there, but I hit some stumbling blocks. probably my own self limitations.

I have a web app built in php. I'd like to finish that and I was thinking of trying for angular, but react looks good.

there is some bootstrap style framework I saw today too.

Answer 6

@Calvin, Ty. I'm still learning programming and js but I'm confident with css and html. I do have a good amount of js exposure, I guess a good learning modle might be 1) js, 2) react js 3) react native?
