I'm a web developer by day with essentially zero mobile development experience. I am familiar with React but haven't used it in any meaningful projects. I have no experience with Swift or even x-code for that matter. I'm looking to build a simple api-backed app and I'm fine with it being only on iOS (not looking to debate that either).
I've stumbled on this site that looks like a good place to start learning Swift: http://www.hackingwithswift.com/
As for React-Native, I figured I could just dive into their tutorial and then start hacking.
The app I want to build should be pretty basic, no crazy animations or heavy asset rendering or anything. Also doesn't need any real-time support or push notifications or anything.
What path do you guys recommend I take? I feel like diving into Swift could be good just for learning a new language for myself. React Native just seems fun to build with. I'm torn at this point, help.
