️Our Journey with React Native and ReasonML

At Ubisoft Club we rewrote our application from Ionic / Cordova to React Native / ReasonML. As we all were Javascript developers, the transition was difficult, both technically and humanly. We implemented some fancy features using e.g. Storybook and GraphQL. But we had to pay the price of immature bindings, bundler issues…

We would like to share this experience with you, including the best and the worst of it.

About the speaker:

Amelie Benoit

As a web developer, I worked in France to create web applications first using Angular and then React; always in Javascript. A few month ago, I joined Ubisoft Montréal to work on a React-Native application in ReasonML. Sketchnoting addict, I also like to share knowledge and look for solutions to bring fun and dynamism in daily life.

David Corticchiato

I started as a C++ developer 14 years ago (So I’m old basically). About 7 years ago I chose to quit embedded software industry for web development. I’ve been a Pythonita for a long time, then a javascript developper. Now I work for Ubisoft as a mobile developer. We’re rebuilding our app in ReasonML + React Native.
