## Description

React Native is the most popular cross-platform app development framework to date, and - if used correctly - allows you to build fast apps, faster.
By combining the development speed of JavaScript, the ease of use of React, and the performant hybrid layer of React Native, you can ship high quality apps in no time.

In this talk I will go over the state-of-the-art technologies in the ecosystem, demo advanced libraries like VisionCamera and Skia to build a realtime 60 FPS face blurring app, and showcase Nitro Modules - the fastest way to build native modules for React Native.
