LearnFactory Internship: Day 55 (July 17, 2018)
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it whether it exists or not, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedy.
Ernest Benn
Politicking with Technology
This definition of Politics is ironical but sadly very true
On politics ,no matter how deep your head is buried in your codes and in many of the times ,its a bugs squashing process ,the time comes when we have to eat,bath and generally relate with other humans and this most times brings every coder down from coders heaven to the real world and in this case Nigeria.
With the recently concluded Ekiti State Elections,I really came down from coders heaven to meet sad faced Nigerian “earthlings”,and it got me thinking of the impact of technology in Politics,what part does technology have to play in politics on the global scale and most importantly in my home country Nigeria, Obviously am not the only one bothered because there are many Techies getting involved and indicating interest in the political space and this is not surprising because Technology has a way of opening your eyes to unimaginable possibilities and generally get your creative juices churning to birth ideas and startups that will definitely shake things up,thats why I would choose a technology enthusiast over any other person any day,
The heaviest penalty for declining to rule is to be ruled by someone inferior to yourself.

It was therefore a very much welcome news when Sir chibueze ukaegbu very excitedly introduced Learn Factory Political interface (Aha!! 😃) we are going to be working on some very interesting life project applications because we are tired of finding faults,
“Don’t find fault, find a remedy.”- Henry Ford
These apps are definitely going to have a lot impact in Nigeria’s Political environment and atmosphere,We are about to Shake Tables!! whoop whoop! 💃
Don’t say I didn’t tell you 😜
So with much Joy in my heart allow me to introduce you to React Native
A React Native app is a real mobile app. With React Native, you don’t build a “mobile web app”, an “HTML5 app”, or a “hybrid app”. … React Native uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. You just put those building blocks together using JavaScript and React.
As usual this is not easy to understand lets break it down as usual
React Native helps create real and exciting mobile apps with the help of JavaScript only, that is supported for both android and iOS platforms,this helps to save development time.it is hugely popular and guessed what it is backed by Facebook!.
I am excited already and so is every other intern,
That was basically all that happened today,if you want to know much more why don’t you keep a date with us tomorrow.
By the way,something is cooking 😎! Here is a sneak peek.
