This elective is offered in cooperation with a company, Kvalifik.dk. The company provides us with a project they are working with, and we will develop part of it during the semester. The curriculum will be taught by theory and practice through the project and towards the end of the semester, you will have time to extend the project and use it as your exam project. Kvalifik will have a guest lecture about one of their code bases and how they develop software.

App development with multiple code bases, one for Android and one for IOS, is becoming unfeasible, as tools for creating native apps for both platforms with a single code base, are becoming better. React Native is an open-source framework that lets you create apps for both platforms without rewriting your Android app for IOS or vice versa in a different language

Knowing React-Native makes it very easy to learn and use React for building web applications. Both React-Native and React are based on Javascript.

Redux is used for state management and is widely used in the industry with both React, React-Native and other frameworks/libraries.

Advantages (and disadvantages) of developing apps with a single codebase.
