Mobile App Development: Software Installation Guide

Essential Tools for Your Mobile App Development Journey

To help you succeed in the Mobile App Development course, you'll need to install some essential software, including Visual Studio Code and React Native. 

Step 1: Download and Install Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a powerful code editor where you will write the code for your mobile app. 

Step 2: Install React Native

React Native is an open-source framework developed by Facebook that allows developers to build mobile applications using JavaScript and React. It enables the creation of native-like mobile apps for iOS and Android platforms while utilizing a single codebase. This means you can write most of the code once and achieve a native look and feel on both platforms, saving time and effort.
