React Native is a framework that enables one to build world-class application experiences on native platforms based on JavaScript and React.React Native is a mobile framework that compiles to native app components, allowing one to build native mobile applications (iOS, Android, and Windows) in JavaScript. It’s based on React, Facebook’s JavaScript library for building user interfaces, but instead of targeting also browser, it targets mobile platforms.React Native applications are written using JSX. React native provides a basic set of components for both iOS and Android platforms. Some of the components in React Native are Navigator, TabBar, Text, TextInput, View, ScrollView. These components use native iOS UIKit and Android UI components internally.

React Native is a great platform for crearting non-heavily based apps for both iOS and Android. React Native has their owm implementation of rendering components for native platforms.
React Native has a flexbox way of styling instead of regular CSS for the web
React Native has to be compiled to native code where ReactJS can be used directly in the DOM
One can use React Native to develop Android as well as IOS apps with very few or in some cases no code changes.
A simple Javascript editor is required to write React Native apps.
React Native has a wonderful feature called hot reloading where one can make changes to the code, save it and the changes are reflected realtime, we don’t need to run the project every time when we make changes to the code. This feature is similar to Instant run of Android Studio but if we compare the speed on lower RAM computers, hot reloading stands strong.
React Native community is increasing day by day and we can find lot of examples and libraries to help one developing applications more faster.

Docker is an open source project that automates the development and deployment of applications inside software containers, by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of operating system level virtualization on Linux. Docker extract its component to accelerate the innovation across the ecosystem and donated it to open foundation. Docker is both a daemon and a client command. Docker is great at setting up a local development environment because it easily adds the running process without duplicating the virtualized resource. Docker is spinning out a component of a platform that called container runtime, as high level abstraction of docker architecture is an integration of many different components and together. That includes everything we need to develop an application, building and deploying them, managing them, etc.

Docker is a two part shell/management layer for building and running virtual linux containers. Therefore, it gives the advantages to both dev as well as ops teams who want to build something productive by resolving more problems. And Container is an execution environment to run application that shared the same underlying Operating System (OS) of the host. Examples of container include: Docker Containers, Linux Containers (LXC), Microsoft Windows Containers etc. Containers allow developers to bundle up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it as one package. The great thing about Docker is that it is light-weight because it relies on shared-kernel linux containers which easily allowing the running and management of applications with different requirements side by side in isolated containers. It also makes it easy to run multiple versions or instances of the same program without configuration headaches and port collisions. Docker uses a client-server architecture. Developers can focus on writing code without worrying about the system on which their code will run with docker.

How To Monetize Mobile App

Making a MOBILE APP is the easy part. Often even amazing apps don’t get the attention they deserve. They get buried in app stores, never to be seen again. If you don’t want to get lost in the app store grind, here are some suggestions to make sure that your new app, gets the attention it deserves. Marketing is a big help. People need to know what it does, and is it worth downloading, and possibly even paying for. Marketing starts before you even launch your product. Build excitement through campaigns on social media, or tech blogs, maybe even get some people to test the app early in order to generate buzz for excellent word of mouth. There are multiple ways get the buzz going, and if not you can always hire an agency to do the work for you. The bottom line is: spread the word to the right people. A key platform in generating buzz for your app is by using Invites. If they get an invitation to test out a new product you can be sure they will post about it, or recommend it to their friends. Invites also, promote exclusivity, which makes people want something even more so, than they thought they did. Allow them to advance to the next level, unlock hidden features, or in-app bonuses, if they send invites to their friends. Give them a reason to keep inviting friends. Make sure that go beyond the sign-in.

There is a lot to be said about the effectiveness of a well designed user interface. Your user interface should be two things: organized and easy. If people can’t figure out how to access features or feel inconvenienced, your app is in danger of being deleted. Consider what the most important functions of your mobile application are, and make those prominent and easily available. Your users don’t want to have to spend time figuring out how to access the basic features of your product, so organize them into intuitive categories and put them somewhere obvious. And finally, listen to your designers and developers. Keep your app updated, and working. A good app can have a long life, and enjoy lots of success.

The mobile industry is banking on VR to be a hit. The phones of 2017 will be all about VR. The field of VR is commanding a lot of attention and even greater funding, but it’s very early days, and it remains to be seen whether it will ever become a mainstream technology. Android and iOS are both reaching platform maturity, and many markets worldwide are approaching full smartphone saturation. Handset makers need to give consumers a reason to upgrade their phones, and many people think VR is it.
