Gain insights into Redux fundamentals, explore application-based problems, and discover how to effectively manage state in React environments with this beginner's guide to state management.

This course is a beginner's gateway into the mechanics of using Redux as an application building platform. It takes a bottom-up approach, enforcing the basic aspects of Redux before incorporating them together in a creative and interactive way. It begins with a short theoretical section before moving on to application based problems. 
The course does assume that the user has a basic idea of how React works, as Redux works in the React environment. Let's dive in!

Understanding Redux: A Beginner's Guide To State Management

“Some years back, developing frontend applications seemed like a joke to many. These days, the increasing complexity of building decent frontend applications is almost overwhelming.”

“It seems that to meet the pressing requirements of the ever-demanding user, the gentle cute cat has overgrown the confines of a home. It’s become a fearless lion with 3-inch claws and a mouth that opens wide enough to fit a human head.

Yeah, that’s what modern frontend development feels like these days.

Modern frameworks like Angular, React and Vue have done a great job at taming this “beast”. Likewise, modern philosophies such as those enforced by Redux, also exist to give this “beast” a chill pill.”

This introductory section will give you a theoretical understanding of Redux. It may be a bit boring, but pay close attention as this will come in handy for the tasks ahead. Good luck!
