Key Moments

• The podcast discusses a new online course called "Maintainable React Native" which teaches developers how to build maintainable architecture for mobile apps through practical examples and techniques delivered via weekly emails.
• The course covers major topics like handling remote data, state management, design systems, and mobile DevOps from the perspective of ensuring long*term productivity and software maintainability.
• The course is aimed at experienced React Native developers but does not require expertise in specific tools or libraries.
• Symptoms that the course may benefit a developer or team include productivity declining as codebase grows, difficulty understanding data flow, and lack of architectural vocabulary.
• Completing the course will teach developers how to structure codebases that can be modified without slowing down, avoid unnecessary complexity, and explain architecture clearly.
• The instructors have extensive experience with over 20 React Native projects and have seen how codebases and teams evolve, providing valuable lessons.
• The course considers both technical and non*technical aspects like communication, project structure, and handling changing requirements.
• For now, the course is free to join and provide feedback to help shape its content as it is still in development.
• The instructors have experience not just with frontend development but also backend development, providing a full-stack perspective.
• While the technical content is a focus, architectural decisions also require considering flexibility, trade-offs, and how choices may limit future options.
