React Native Animations

Build fluid, 60fps animations. Master Reanimated 3, Gesture Handler, and Skia to create buttery smooth React Native experiences.

Great apps feel alive. This course focuses on bridging the gap between 'web feel' and 'native feel' using animations. You will master the Reanimated library to run animations on the UI thread, bypassing the JS bridge. Learn to handle complex gestures (pan, pinch, rotation) and coordinate them with layout changes. We also introduce React Native Skia for high-performance 2D graphics drawing. Turn stiff UIs into fluid experiences.
