Hey everyone, and welcome to this new section.
If you're hoping to brush upon your JavaScript skills or just smoothly
transition from another programming language, you are in the right place.
This section is totally optional, and I just decided to include it
in the course to kickstart your journey through React Native.
If you already know JavaScript, this section will slow you down.
However, if you need a quick recap or are coming from a different
programming language and want to get used to the syntax,
then this section is made for you.
So what's in store for this refresher?
We'll be diving deep into key JavaScript concepts
that are crucial for your success in the upcoming React Native sections.
We're not going to talk about simple stuff like what are if statements
or what do for loops do, since this course expects you to have
the basic knowledge of programming.
However, we are going to be discussing syntax in JavaScript and some essentials
to to help you hit the ground running.
So the plan will be to start with JavaScript syntax, ensuring you're
comfortable with variable declaration functions, data types.
And this foundation is essential because it sets you
up for everything that follows.
By refreshing your memory on this core concept, you'll have
a solid understanding of how JavaScript works, making the React native journey
smoother and more enjoyable.
If you doubt your skills in JavaScript but do have some experience in it, I suggest
you still follow this section anyways.
It's not going to be too long, and we're going to explore important topics like
let and cost variables, arrow functions, objects, arrays, reference types,
destructuring, and working with APIs.
And each of these elements play a crucial role in React Native development.
And by joining this refresher section, you will gain the knowledge and confidence
needed to excel in the upcoming sections.
So it's an opportunity to fine-tune your skills, ensure a smooth
transition, and make the most of the React Native framework.
If you're ready, join us in this optional refresher section.
This will help you understand the upcoming sections better, so get ready
to unlock your full potential before starting your journey in React Native.
Thanks so much for watching, and I'll see you in the next video.
