Hey everyone, and welcome
to this new section.

00:00:03.120 --> 00:00:07.080
If you're hoping to brush upon
your JavaScript skills or just smoothly

00:00:07.146 --> 00:00:11.410
transition from another programming
language, you are in the right place.

00:00:11.480 --> 00:00:15.560
This section is totally optional,
and I just decided to include it

00:00:15.626 --> 00:00:19.770
in the course to kickstart
your journey through React Native.

00:00:19.840 --> 00:00:23.280
If you already know JavaScript,
this section will slow you down.

00:00:23.346 --> 00:00:27.120
However, if you need a quick recap
or are coming from a different

00:00:27.186 --> 00:00:30.690
programming language
and want to get used to the syntax,

00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:33.930
then this section is made for you.

00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:37.010
So what's in store for this refresher?

00:00:37.080 --> 00:00:40.280
We'll be diving deep
into key JavaScript concepts

00:00:40.346 --> 00:00:44.050
that are crucial for your success
in the upcoming React Native sections.

00:00:44.120 --> 00:00:48.960
We're not going to talk about
simple stuff like what are if statements

00:00:49.026 --> 00:00:52.850
or what do for loops do, since
this course expects you to have

00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.330
the basic knowledge of programming.

00:00:55.400 --> 00:00:59.480
However, we are going to be discussing
syntax in JavaScript and some essentials

00:00:59.546 --> 00:01:01.890
to to help you hit the ground running.

00:01:01.960 --> 00:01:06.090
So the plan will be to start with
JavaScript syntax, ensuring you're

00:01:06.160 --> 00:01:10.530
comfortable with variable declaration
functions, data types.

00:01:10.600 --> 00:01:14.734
And this foundation
is essential because it sets you

00:01:14.800 --> 00:01:16.250
up for everything that follows.

00:01:16.320 --> 00:01:20.800
By refreshing your memory
on this core concept, you'll have

00:01:20.866 --> 00:01:26.570
a solid understanding of how JavaScript
works, making the React native journey

00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:29.410
smoother and more enjoyable.

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:35.800
If you doubt your skills in JavaScript but
do have some experience in it, I suggest

00:01:35.866 --> 00:01:37.930
you still follow this section anyways.

00:01:38.000 --> 00:01:43.010
It's not going to be too long, and we're
going to explore important topics like

00:01:43.080 --> 00:01:49.890
let and cost variables, arrow functions,
objects, arrays, reference types,

00:01:49.960 --> 00:01:52.730
destructuring, and working with APIs.

00:01:52.800 --> 00:01:57.440
And each of these elements play a
crucial role in React Native development.

00:01:57.506 --> 00:02:02.720
And by joining this refresher section, you
will gain the knowledge and confidence

00:02:02.786 --> 00:02:06.010
needed to excel in the upcoming sections.

00:02:06.080 --> 00:02:10.120
So it's an opportunity
to fine-tune your skills, ensure a smooth

00:02:10.186 --> 00:02:13.650
transition, and make the most
of the React Native framework.

00:02:13.720 --> 00:02:17.570
If you're ready, join us
in this optional refresher section.

00:02:17.640 --> 00:02:22.120
This will help you understand the
upcoming sections better, so get ready

00:02:22.186 --> 00:02:27.690
to unlock your full potential before
starting your journey in React Native.

00:02:27.760 --> 00:02:30.280
Thanks so much for watching,
and I'll see you in the next video.
