React Native already offers a wide range of native features, thanks to its built-in modules and a ton of open source libraries. But sometimes you might not find the exact solution you're looking for. The flexibility to build your own custom modules or extend existing libraries gives you a huge advantage in mobile apps development.
 Diving into native code might feel very scary for web developers, and this advanced workshop is the proper cure for this problem.
 In this advanced workshop we will:
 <ul>
 <li>implement a simple native class (Swift for iOS & Java for Android)</li>
 <li>bridge it to React Native</li>
 <li>get access to it from JavaScript</li>
 <li>call native methods from JavaScript</li>
 <li>call JavaScript methods from native code</li>
 </ul>
 At the end of this workshop, native modules shouldn't feel so scary anymore. You will also understand better how React Native actually works under the hood and how JavaScript communicates with native code.
