Course content

This course will guide you in applying the knowledge and skills gained from the previous courses in the React Native program, in order to fulfil the requirements of the capstone project. Specifically, you will design and develop a mobile application using React Native which will be subjected to review by yourself as well as your peers.

To complete this course, you will need React Native experience.

This course enables you to demonstrate multiple skills from this Certificate by solving an authentic real-world problem. Each module includes a brief recap of, and links to, content that you have covered in previous courses in this program. The course Capstone project will test your knowledge and understanding in mobile development using React Native.

On completion of the Capstone project, you’ll have a job-ready portfolio that you can show to recruiters, demonstrate during interviews and impress potential employers.

The course is designed to be completed over a period of three weeks, during which you will go through setup and planning steps, write code for the application’s core functionalities, and complete a series of assessment tasks. The content covered is as follows:

Module 1: Starting the project

In the first week, you will get your project setup properly for development and engage in planning and design activities. By the end of the module, you will demonstrate that you are able to:

• Set up a repository and push commits to it.

• Set up the file and folder structure for your project.

• Explain key principles of UX UI as they apply to mobile applications.

• Design wireframes using Figma.

• Design and style the core components of your app in alignment with UI design fundamentals.

Module 2: Project functionality

In the week that follows, you will focus on implementing functionality into your app in a way that makes it both useful and usable. By completing the lesson items, you will show that you know how to:

• Design and implement an onboarding process for new users

• Design a navigational flow between screens of your app

• Implement a navigation interface

• Fetch data from the network and store it in a database

• Render data in the app in a way that allows information to be sorted and filtered

Module 3: Project assessment

In the final module, you will be assessed on the fundamental skills covered as you build the capstone project's functionality. You will be asked to complete the following tasks:

• A self-review that prompts you to self-evaluate your work on the project

• A peer review in which you will submit your project for evaluation by other learners partaking in the course. You’ll also be directed to do the same for two of your peers. Your submission will consist of two parts: An image that features the wireframe which you will construct in the design phase, and your app project files that will allow a reviewer to run your app. In the actual app, the Profile , Onboarding and Home screens should appear similarly to the following image:

Keep in mind that the project completed in this course proves your knowledge of the value and capabilities of React development. It serves to demonstrate the skills gained and speaks volumes about you as a self-driven and innovative individual.

• A final graded assessment that tests your understanding of the knowledge and skills applied across the course.

Finally, to end the course you’ll be guided to reflect on your learning, discuss the experience with other course participants, and learn about possible next steps to take in your coding journey.
