Gain insights into modern Redux usage with Redux Toolkit and React-Redux hooks. Delve into updated patterns and practices through comprehensive tutorials. Explore and apply contemporary Redux concepts.

Hi, I'm Mark Erikson, also known as @acemarke, and I'm a Redux maintainer

I wrote this course in 2017. Many of the concepts are still relevant, but Redux usage has changed significantly. We now teach Redux Toolkit as the standard approach for writing Redux logic, and React-Redux hooks as the default for components.

I'd recommend reading through the Redux core docs tutorials, which have been rewritten to explain the "modern Redux" patterns we teach today:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/index

I've made this course free if you'd still like to go through it.

Mark helps people learn Redux almost every day.  I guess he has seen all the challenging questions about it by now. So if you are learning Redux, I highly recommend to go with his course, because it comes with all his gathered experiences about the topic

Practical Redux is the missing manual for how to use Redux in real-world apps, full of practical ideas on project structure, handling complex data, and best practices. I highly recommended it for anyone using Redux in a real app.

Mark is _the_ guy when it comes to explaining Redux. The course builds upon (& goes above and beyond) his awesome series of posts on Practical Redux. It’s full of actionable advice that applies to a range of apps… there were a couple of things I myself learned from it, and I’m no stranger to Redux. Definitely a must!

### Unit Info Tab

The first major piece of our UI will allow displaying and editing the details for whatever fictional Battletech combat group we've created.  That includes things like what the name of the group is, what faction they work for, and so on.

Per the mockup shown earlier, the Unit Info tab is a basic form with a few fields.  We'll just add the "Name" and "Affiliation" fields for now, and deal with the other fields another time.

Filling out the `<UnitInfo>` component is pretty straightforward:

> **[Commit 4bc7287: Add initial form layout for UnitInfo](https://github.com/markerikson/project-minimek-educative/commit/4bc728720f8fb71feb43c7f4e4cf5ff4f1d1664c)**

**[features/unitInfo/UnitInfo.jsx](https://github.com/markerikson/project-minimek-educative/blob/4bc728720f8fb71feb43c7f4e4cf5ff4f1d1664c/src/features/unitInfo/UnitInfo.jsx)**
```js
import React from "react";
import {Form, Dropdown, Segment} from "semantic-ui-react";

const FACTIONS = [
    {value : "cc", text : "Capellan Confederation"},
    {value : "dc", text : "Draconis Combine"},
    {value : "fs", text : "Federated Suns"},
    {value : "fwl", text : "Free Worlds League"},
    {value : "lc", text : "Lyran Commonwealth"},
];

const UnitInfo = () => (
    <Segment attached="bottom">
        <Form size="large">
            <Form.Field name="name" width={6} >
                <label>Unit Name</label>
                <input placeholder="Name" />
            </Form.Field>
            <Form.Field name="affiliation" width={6}>
                <label>Affiliation</label>
                <Dropdown
                    selection
                    options={FACTIONS}
                />
            </Form.Field>
        </Form>
    </Segment>
);

export default UnitInfo;
```

And now we finally have something slightly more visible to show off:
