✦ Synopsis

Develop versatile iOS and Android apps using Python with
RESTful web services. Dive into full-stack development with Django, a powerful
Python framework, and React Native, the most in-demand JavaScript library.

Begin by building a mobile app using the RESTful APIs and
React Native. Starting from scratch, create a database and serialize the data
with Django REST to serve APIs. Then build the front-end with React and mobile
apps for iOS and Android with React Native.

By the end of the book, you’ll have developed three apps
powered by Django—a desktop React app, an iOS app, and an Android app. Discover
the whole process of developing apps from inception to distribution of an iOS
app in the Apple store and an Android app in the Google Play store.

You will:

• Develop using the Model-View-Controller pattern

• Facilitate the communications between the back-end and
  front-end of web apps with HTTP

• Design a robust front-end for an app with React

• Create one back-end solution for both iOS and Android
  devices with Django
