On this version of React-Native Tutorial we are going to look into how to load Images Quick, Fast and Easy with React-Native Module React-Native Fast Image, We are also going to add a little animation using React-Native Image Progress Module to allow users know when image loading is in progress and when it's completed. There are three Major modules Involve in this Project that is written by Trusted React-Native Developers and backed by the great community. The main Objective of this Project is to see how we can avoid loading Images twice on Android and iOS each time our app is launched therefore saving us some bandwidth data, React-Native Fast Image does this by caching the images that have been loaded by the app. As stated on the Repo, FastImage is a wrapper around SDWebImage (iOS) and Glide (Android), These are two powerful and efficient image caching libraries on Android and iOS platform.

If you haven't read the previous post, Then head straight for it here,  Why I Moved from Ionic to React-Native for Android and iOS Development, It will help you understand and appreciate the simplicity and the reason Framework matter in Mobile app development.
Now, We will design a mobile app for Android and iOS with React-Native in 5 Minutes. This app will run on both Android and iOS Devices, As go further in React-Native tutorial series, The magic in React-Native will reveal itself. We will demonstrate how to earnest the power of native module to create a robust Android and iOS app using React-Native.

Ionic has been my preferred for cross-platform mobile application development framework for about 2 years in a row, But lately, the most project I have work on is built with React-Native, I was a big fan of react but I haven't really looked into React-Native until recently. I love Ionic Framework a lot, Many can tell from my previous posts but there are just some projects that you really want to have access to the native APIs with ease and React-Native kind of provide that bridge out of the box. In this Blog post, I will explain my experience with Ionic Framework and why I switched to React-Native on my recent project and also share my opinion whether a beginner should start with Ionic Framework or just go directly to React-Native.

Ionic is the Leading Cross-Platform development framework. Ionic let you build Mobile application for Android, iOS and Windows with just a single codebase.
The first issue that beginner's have when they want to build an Ionic App is that they don't have previous experience with the technologies behind the Ionic Stack.
Ionic 3 uses Angular, Typescript and HTML5 for it main components.
The first two stack technologies are both based on javascript.
Therefore, To truly understand this tutorial you should be able to write basic JavaScript. You are expected to understand functions, Objects, arrays and variable declarations.

Ionic Framework is a mobile app stack that let web developers build apps for all major app stores and the web with a single code base. At the same time, your app looks and feels awesome on every device, Isn't that great?
In fact , All you need to know is Angular, JavaScript, Typescript and HTML5.
Arguably, All these are things you can learn through a normal weekend if your'e a newbie.
Above all, Ionic Framework makes it easy for web developers to build mobile and web apps for Android, Windows, IOS, Electron and Browser without stress.

Who could imagine such a machine still exists and it's still working, A working 1976 Apple-1 Personal Computer was sold for $355,000 last week in an auction hosted by Christie's New York. This is the first Apple's Personal Computer, This particular version was hand-built by Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in the confines of Steve Jobs' garage. A similar version of this 1976 PC is sold for $671,400 in 2013 and $905,000 in 2014, This makes $355,000 sales the cheapest Apple-1 sales till date, It comes without a casing and power supply, it's the first to have its own motherboard, which set it apart from competitors. Apple-1's success at the time is credited as the force that catapulted Apple into the personal computing industry. The Apple-1 originally retailed for $666.66, and now only 66 computers still exist. Sound like a coincidence? Maybe!

Bixby digital assistant was absent from the initial release of Samsung Galaxy S8, Samsung promised would be coming at a later date. On the 1^st of May, 2017, Bixby was released for S8 and S8 Plus owners in South Korea. Before now, S8 owners have the ability to use Bixby features like Vision augmented reality, Bixby Home, and Reminders features since launch. But the full voice control recognizes the major selling point of the new virtual assistant, which Samsung claims will allow users to accomplish anything they could do with regular touch controls through voice commands. The English version was delayed due to the company’s difficulty in optimizing it for English commands- according to report, Samsung has announced that S8 and S8 Plus owners can test Bixby’s voice features before anyone else.

Recent Announcement by Facebook that most accounts removed for terrorism-related activity are uncovered by the company itself, and that it’s using artificial intelligence to find more threats. People have questioned the role of tech companies in fighting terrorism online, Facebook is using image-matching for terrorist photos and videos, and detecting “clusters,” where terrorist content is posted across related accounts. We want to find terrorist content immediately, before people in our community have seen it. Already, the majority of accounts we remove for terrorism we find ourselves. But we know we can do better at using technology — and specifically artificial intelligence — to stop the spread of terrorist content on Facebook

PageSpeed is the amount of time it took web server to respond to the requests of the browser and how long it takes for it to serve all page Resource(Images, Audio, Videos, Flash Animations, e.t.c.), Content (HTML, CSS and Texts) and Meta Information (HTTP info i.e Author, Content-Type, e.t.c) to be fully downloaded and rendered by the web browser.
