Now that the example app is done, let's learn more about the technologies we used to build it. ## Build your project into an app To start creating a new app on your machine you can use `npx create-expo-app@latest --template default@sdk-57` and [set up your development environment](/get-started/set-up-your-environment.md) sequentially. > **Note:** During the SDK 57 transition period, `create-expo-app@latest` without the `--template` flag creates an SDK 54 project. If you plan to use Expo Go on a physical device, use an SDK 54 project. Otherwise, use `--template default@sdk-57` to create an SDK 57 project. ### Recommended resources Once you've created your new project, you can learn more about different tools and concepts that will help you on your app development journey: - [Development tools](/develop/tools.md): A reference of Expo tools that will help you during various aspects of your app-building journey. - [Development builds](/develop/development-builds/introduction.md): Using a development build allows you to gain full control over your app's build process, and to test your app on a device or simulator. - [Development overview](/workflow/overview.md): This is a high-level overview that provides details on key concepts for developing an app with Expo and the flow of core development loop. - [Expo Router](/router/introduction.md): We went through basics of Expo Router and implemented a tab navigator. See its documentation to learn more about the library. - [App icon](/develop/user-interface/splash-screen-and-app-icon.md#app-icon) and [splash screen](/develop/user-interface/splash-screen-and-app-icon.md#splash-screen): You can learn more about customizing your app icon and splash screen guides. Also, look through the [app config reference](/workflow/configuration.md) for properties you can configure in the **app.json** file. - [App distribution](/deploy/build-project.md) and [submission](/deploy/submit-to-app-stores.md) to app stores: Read these resources to learn more about how to release and submit your app to app stores once it's ready to ship. - [Debugging](/debugging/runtime-issues.md): Sometimes things go wrong, and when they do, you can use debugging tools to find and fix errors. ## Learning ### React We used React components and APIs. Having a solid understanding of React is essential to using Expo to build your app. We recommend reading the React documentation's [Quick Start section](https://react.dev/learn) and the [Hooks section](https://react.dev/reference/react/hooks). ### React Native While developing the tutorial app, we used React Native extensively. You can start from the [React Native basics guide](https://reactnative.dev/docs/getting-started) to learn more. Also, check out the following docs: - [View API reference](https://reactnative.dev/docs/view) - [Text API reference](https://reactnative.dev/docs/text) - [Platform specific code](https://reactnative.dev/docs/platform-specific-code) - [Presenting data in a list](https://reactnative.dev/docs/using-a-listview) We used Flexbox to layout our components. Check out the following recommendations to learn more about it: - [Height and Width](https://reactnative.dev/docs/height-and-width) - [Layout with Flexbox](https://reactnative.dev/docs/flexbox) ### Gestures and animations To learn more about implementing different types of gestures and animations, we recommend the following documentation: - [React Native Gesture Handler](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-gesture-handler/docs/) - [React Native Reanimated](https://docs.swmansion.com/react-native-reanimated/docs/fundamentals/getting-started) ## Join the community Join our community on [Discord](https://chat.expo.dev/) to chat with other Expo users or to ask questions.
