Please join us for React Native Portland meetup and presentation nite.

We will have Jamon Holmgren, Founder and COO of Infinite Red ( https://infinite.red/ ) giving a talk about the versatile and powerful CLI tool they have built for React Native - Ignite CLI https://github.com/infinitered/ignite/blob/master/README.md

According to Jamon, "we love React Native at Infinite Red and we are using it to build real Mobile apps for our clients"

Ignite CLI is a great tool for beginners as well as experts in React Native.

If you are just curious to get started on RN, or you are developing in iOS or Android and want to explore the 'other platform', or have been using RN but just want to expand your knowledge, his talk should have something for everyone.

Infinite Red is also hosting a dedicated conference on React Native, Chain React, right here in Portland July 10th and 11th.

Please join us for the RN Meetup on June 15th, 6pm at CrowdCompass.

There will be free Pizza and Beer!

Facebook's Javascript-based cross-platform mobile solution React Native has been rapidly gaining mindshare recently, and for good reason: it's a tasteful, flexible, understandable way to build performant mobile applications by repurposing your web stack knowledge.

And since it's Javascript-based, Clojurescript is an ideal functional language to equip your mobile development environment with space-age benefits like immutable data, pure functions, and best-of-all, REPL-driven UIs.

Come learn how to bootstrap a mobile environment with React Native, Clojurescript, and re-frame, and how to incorporate native code for functionality not yet handled by React Native.

Do you want to develop a cross-platform mobile app? How about getting started with a simple app?

React Native is a great way to build a Hybrid app that is an alternative to native apps for all mobile devices. Join us as we create a simple To-Do app we can use and share with our friends.

I'll share a 30-minute demo of code and post it on Github. In the second half, we'll open the discussion to talk about other projects. We'll have wi-fi, so you can bring your laptop and code with us or just learn and share your journey.

Be inspired! Knowledge Mavens
