Jan 1, 2025 by SED

Expo is a development framework that streamlines the process of building cross-platform mobile apps using React Native. It eliminates the need for complex native code setup by providing pre-built APIs for common device features like the camera and GPS, making it easier to access hardware functionality. It also simplifies the deployment process with built-in tools for building and distributing apps.

Charlie Cheever and James Ide are the Co-Founders of Expo and they join the podcast to talk about the framework and the problems it solves.

Kevin Ball or KBall, is the vice president of engineering at Mento and an independent coach for engineers and engineering leaders. He co-founded and served as CTO for two companies, founded the San Diego JavaScript meetup, and organizes the AI inaction discussion group through Latent Space.
