Hey Dan,

I started learning ReactJS and came across your thread the same day.
would like to know if it is better to learn ReactJs first before moving on to React Native?

The principles in component organization are the same (RN is React + some mobile-specific APIs). So you can't really avoid learning React.

I don't think there's much sense with starting to learn React in the browser though if you plan to target RN. Just start with RN. But you'll need to learn about React itself anyway, even though you use it through RN.
