Thinking in React Native explores how experienced engineers design, reason about, and maintain long-lived React Native applications. Rather than focusing on syntax, tutorials, or libraries, this book examines the mental models behind architecture, performance, state ownership, navigation, platform constraints, and technical trade-offs. It treats React Native as a distributed, multi-threaded system and explains how real-world production issues emerge over time. The book addresses performance beyond benchmarks, architectural decisions that age well (or poorly), dependency decay, refactoring strategies, and the responsibilities of senior engineers maintaining systems under changing constraints. This is a book about thinking clearly, making conscious trade-offs, and building React Native applications that survive years of evolution.
