You mean "newbie" as in never programmed a single line of code before or "newbie" as in a programming background but just new to React Native?
I recently started to play around with React Native since I wanted to make a specific app. I first learned React and Redux for the web and then applied that knowledge to React Native.
You don't have to learn Redux though but if you want to build anything beyond trivial you will have to do state management so you might as well pick the most popular way of doing that.
I've been at it for 7 or so weeks now (full-time) and I have a running iOS/Android app (this time also includes building an API the app talks to and an admin area for admins to login to for house keeping purposes). I still need to finish up "loads" of details but I'm over the major learning curve (I think).
If this book would have been any help to me? Looking through the chapter topics, I think not. To me, the real useful information would be more about the differences and similarities in how to implement good UI/UX for both iOS and Android, generating the required certificates, publishing to the app stores etc.
I have been developing software for 20+ years, if that makes a difference.
