React Native Basics: Core Components & Screen Navigation
Starting with React Native can feel confusing — especially if you already know React for the web.
This is not a full tutorial, but a guided tour of the fundamentals and mental model you need to learn React Native properly.
We don’t build a full app, and we don’t go deep into any single topic.
We walk through the most important ideas you need to understand early:
How React Native is different from React for the web (no DOM, no divs, no CSS)
The core components you’ll use all the time (View, Text, Pressable, FlatList, etc.)
How styling and layout works with Flexbox
How screens and navigation work in a mobile app (Expo Router / React Navigation)
How hooks behave in a mobile context
Think of this video as a mental map of React Native.
Each topic here deserves its own deep dive — and this video shows you what to learn and why, so you don’t feel lost when exploring the ecosystem.
This video is for you if:
You know React, but React Native feels confusing
You want to understand the big picture before going deeper
You want to avoid common beginner mistakes early
👉 This is part of a series. In the next videos, we’ll go deep into each of these topics, step by step.
