About

This project is a series of 3 Projects (Pikachu, Kong, Godzilla) with 3 different levels (Level 1, 2, 3). We are going to build a platform like Booking or Airbnb.


In this project, I will walk you through steps to develop apps like Booking, Hotels or Airbnb with core functionalities from scratch. You don't need to learn everything about HTML, CSS, Javascript or Ruby on Rails to just create a web application. In my methodology which I called POA (Product-Oriented-Approach), you just need to learn what you need. Doing this way, it won't make you a superstar developer but will get you something REAL quickly and efficiently, especially for Entrepreneurs & Founders.

What skills will we learn during this Level 3?

[Part 1]

  • You will learn how to structure a project for API purpose only.

  • How to serialize objects from data models to JSON format that being used for API calls.

  • How to structure custom data to display on mobile app.

  • Understand good practice to use access token to secure API calls .

  • How to create GET, POST API requests to get and update data from client.

  • How to work with Facebook access token and grab the user’s Facebook details.

[Part 2]

  • Learn how to use simple React Native boilerplate to start your app in no time.

  • Understand the structure of Redux that you can apply to any projects.

  • Understand the workflow between Action, Reducer and Store.

  • Learn how to create reusable and customizable UI components.

  • How to leverage 3rd party libraries to boost your app.

  • How to create Facebook Authenticate in mobile app.

    Pros: Organized, fairly good structure, covers interesting material that is hard to find in the same place. Cons: For me, i didn't like that it was so coupled with the previous tutorials, i know the topics covered in the other tutorials and it was hard to follow since there is a lot of copy/paste from the past project. It doesn't cover anything for IOS. A lot of the config files for android didn't work for me, i had to do a lot of research to keep going. I wish he covered the notification system or any deploy topics.
