The episode explores React Native for Windows. Mike and Bartosz reveal why we should think about React Native Windows in terms of desktop development.

At the beginning, they talk about JavaScript and other languages used to develop desktop applications: what’s made them an obvious choice for desktop so far, what they let you do, and what advantages or disadvantages they may have.

Topics

React Native Windows and Electron

Mike and his guest move on to compare React Native Windows with other frameworks popular in the desktop development scene, especially Electron. Bartosz explains the difference between React Native and Electron, and points out the key benefits of React Native Windows.  

Later on, the episode focuses on the development workflow from the perspective of an experienced Electron developer and Windows developer. Bartosz outlines an ideal set of skills that would make development with React Native Windows a breeze.

Starting your first project

Last but not least, Bartosz gives practical advice on how to get started with React Native for Windows, and when and how to migrate to React Native Windows once you have a native application.
