BTW new fedi folks, if anyone wants to make a #ReactNative mastodon client, I don't think I can drive the project but maybe I can chip in

New Expo beta is out. Looking forward to updating my hobby apps to the latest #ReactNative release, 0.68.1! https://blog.expo.dev/expo-sdk-45-beta-is-now-available-88507051f6d2?source=rss----d397bd202faa---4

Reintroducing myself to help discoverability.

I've built software professionally since 2004. As a focus I've landed on:

#testing
#tdd
#refactoring

Currently I'm focused on working in #react and #reactnative, learning how to apply the above practices to them, and sharing what I learn. You can see what I've shared at

https://learntdd.in
https://outsidein.dev
https://reactnativetesting.io

Other interests:

- removing accidental complexity
- high-level abstractions
- end-user programming.

Spending some time in the Detox testing library for the first time in a few years. I'm excited to see they've been able to hide the verbose output from lower-level testing tools and express test failures in the terms the tests were written, with test code snippets and all. #reactnative

My live stream series on Building for Mobile and Web with #Expo is complete, and all the recordings are up with chapter markers! All the info here: https://codingitwrong.com/streams/expo-mobile-web

Now I have two #ReactNative apps I use daily deployed as both iOS apps and web apps, and I couldn't be happier with 'em.

Stream is up and we'll be starting in just 1 minute! #ReactNative https://www.twitch.tv/codingitwrong

Shortened my 1 pm ET stream today to just an hour, to make it easier US folks to join during a (possibly early/late) lunch. Let's do some #ReactNative testing together! https://codingitwrong.com/streams/expo-mobile-web

This week I'm adding a bonus stream time: Wednesday the 30th from 1-3 pm ET. We'll focus on improving the tests we made last time and refactoring.

Then at the usual stream time, Friday the 1st from 4-6 pm ET, we'll test-drive some more features.

#ReactNative #testing #tdd

Oh yeah, the recording from yesterday's #ReactNative stream is up, too. Testiiiing! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wln9_z9LEfU&list=PLXXnezSEtvNPlwbFvG3NzJAW5ikYsG2Lh&index=5

Stream is up and we're gonna write some #ReactNative tests in 3 minutes. See you then! https://www.twitch.tv/codingitwrong

On today's #ReactNative live stream we'll add test coverage to our feature, including demoing my current preferred approach for "end-to-end" testing RN apps. See you at 4 pm ET or catch the recording afterward! https://codingitwrong.com/streams/expo-mobile-web

The #ReactNative live stream continues today, wrapping up login and finally building our first domain feature! We're viewing saved links in our link-saving app. Reminder that this app builds to both mobile and web thanks to the magic of Expo and react-native-web. Join me at 4pm ET!

The recording of Friday's #reactnative live stream, with chapters, is up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNHXwHAec18&list=PLXXnezSEtvNPlwbFvG3NzJAW5ikYsG2Lh&index=3

After this session I'm getting really excited about the app! Feels so cool to see it on the home screen, and I know we have barely any work left to do to get it useful for me.

Stream is up and we'll be starting in 5 minutes. Let's code some #ReactNative together! https://www.twitch.tv/codingitwrong

Did some stream prep this morning. It looks like we'll be able to test our #ReactNative app on Android. Last time I tried the Android Emulator it couldn't connect to the internet, but fixed now 👍

It's been a bit delayed, but my new livestream series starts on February 25! We'll build an app for both web and mobile using the same #ReactNative codebase. We'll set up the visuals, responsive design, dark mode handling, and testing.

I shored up the docs for the #ReactNative responsive design library I've been working on. Check it out if you need to handle breakpoints in RN: https://github.com/bignerdranch/BNR-react-native-style-queries#readme

Here's the recording of last night's live stream. It ended up being a perfect function to TDD: too hard for me to think about the implementation in advance, each step let me solve one problem at a time. #reactnative #tdd https://youtu.be/9j2uTeIJlBo

The recording is up for my meetup talk on building for mobile and web using #ReactNative and #Expo. I really enjoyed this stack for building my app! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IolJZ9XtUW8&feature=share
