React Native Interfaces with Leland Richardson (Repeat)

Originally published July 7, 2017 Airbnb is a company that is driven by design. New user interfaces are dreamed up by designers and implemented for web, iOS, and Android. This implementation process takes a lot of resources, but it used to take even more before the company started using React Native. React Native allows Airbnb to reuse components effectively. React Native works by presenting a consistent model for the user interface regardless of the underlying platform, and emitting a log of changes to that user interface. The underlying platform translates those changes into platform specific code. Leland Richardson is an engineer at Airbnb. In today’s episode, he explains how Airbnb uses React Native, how React Native works, and the future of the platform. Sponsorship inquiries: [email protected]
