In 2024, the React Native resource ecosystem consolidated, following on from the previous year, with community members continuing to publish consistently. The official documentation received many updates and full-page rewrites related to the New Architecture. Our three favorite podcasts released regular episodes on a weekly basis. The established creators published many new videos and up-to-date hands-on courses to learn React Native from scratch or to become animation experts. The major React Native companies stepped up their communication game, sharing regular updates on their open-source activity and what’s coming next. Personally, I believe the resource ecosystem has grown much healthier in recent years. We now have a wide range of resources to learn from scratch, enhance our skills, and stay current. I was thrilled to find that my newsletter, This Week In React, holds the highest satisfaction rate among all available resources!
