CI for Cordova (iOS) via VSTS, MacInCloud and HockeyApp
Install the Cordova Build and HockeyApp VSTS extensions into your VSTS tenant.
Sign up for a MacInCloud account, and create a VSTS build agent.
Create a pool for your agent in VSTS: https://support.macincloud.com/support/solutions/articles/8000016614-getting-started-with-the-macincloud-vsts-previously-vso-build-agent-plan and configure the agent following the instructions in the article.
Sign up for a HockeyApp account. Create an API token that VSTS will use to talk to HockeyApp via Account Settings > API Tokens.
For HockeyApp, create a service endpoint in VSTS: https://support.hockeyapp.net/kb/third-party-bug-trackers-services-and-webhooks/how-to-use-hockeyapp-with-visual-studio-team-services-vsts-or-team-foundation-server-tfs#installation-for-vsts

React Native development on Windows
So I've started looking into React Native, as mobile development is still a very hot topic, and I would like to do x-plat mobile development that provides a native experience, but doesn't suck for the developer (I'm looking at you Xamarin). I'm a big fan of React, and doing mobile dev that allows hot-reloading during the dev cycle sounds too good to be true.
I'm also going to be building this app with my son, who is 6. It is going to be for him to track his jobs (chores) and income (pocket money), and track savings and goals - encouraging some financial literacy and hopefully letting him reason about the money he makes and what he can do with it! I'm hoping JSX and Javascript will make for a clean and clear way to teach some of the concepts we will use for building the app. Even running through the boilerplate, it was quite simple to explain to him that a <Text> element in the JSX made the app display some text for us. A good start!
