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:

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!

Practical Redux

# What Wasn't Covered

This course covered a lot of material and techniques, but there's a lot of things we _didn't_ cover.  Some examples:

- Dealing with side effects, including use of advanced side effect libraries like `redux-saga` or `redux-observable`
- Creating new entities on the client
- Working with more complex nested/relational data
- Optimizing performance
- Sorting / filtering / pagination
- Code-splitting the application, including dynamically adding reducers
- Tracing data flow and debugging techniques
- Using higher-order functions to generate action creators and reducers for similar data types

I hope to write about some of these topics on [my dev blog](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/) in the future as I continue the ["Practical Redux" tutorial series](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/practical-redux) this course is based on.  If you're interested, I keep [a gist listing some of the topics I hope to write about](https://gist.github.com/markerikson/840fc9baf9598971ae252b92ac832955), which also includes several other areas of interest.  Keep an eye on my blog for more posts!

# Further Learning Resources

Until then, I'd encourage you to check out my [React/Redux links list](https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links), which points to many articles on topics like [Redux Side Effects](https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master/redux-side-effects.md), [Redux Reducers and Selectors](https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master/redux-reducers-selectors.md), [React/Redux Performance](https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master/react-performance.md), and much more.

The [official Redux docs](https://redux.js.org/) are a great resource, including [the Redux FAQ](https://redux.js.org/docs/FAQ.html) and the [Structuring Reducers](https://redux.js.org/docs/recipes/StructuringReducers.html) section.

If you're looking for some other "real-world" React+Redux examples, I recommend Sophie DeBenedetto's 8-part [Build a Simple CRUD App with React and Redux](http://www.thegreatcodeadventure.com/building-a-simple-crud-app-with-react-redux-part-1/) series.  If you want to look at code from existing applications, check out the ["Real World" React+Redux example app](https://github.com/gothinkster/react-redux-realworld-example-app), and my [Redux addons catalog](https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links) has a section that lists [many open-source React+Redux apps](https://github.com/markerikson/redux-ecosystem-links/blob/master/apps-and-examples.md), including both purpose-built examples and real applications.  My links list also has a section specifically listing ["Project-Based" Redux Tutorials](https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links/blob/master/redux-tutorials.md#project-based-tutorials).

I'd specifically suggest that you read some articles that go into more detail on Redux best practices and the philosophy behind Redux.  First, there's my own ["Idiomatic Redux" series](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/idiomatic-redux), where I've written about what I think is the "right" way to use Redux:

- [Idiomatic Redux: Why Use Action Creators?](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2016/10/idiomatic-redux-why-use-action-creators/) looks at reasons why I think consistent use of action creator functions is a good idea
- [Idiomatic Redux: Thoughts on Thunks, Sagas, Abstraction, and Reusability](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/01/idiomatic-redux-thoughts-on-thunks-sagas-abstraction-and-reusability/) lists several concerns about use of thunks and sagas, and has my responses on why I still recommend those as useful tools
- The 2-part post [The Tao of Redux, Part 1 - Implementation and Intent](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-tao-of-redux-part-1/) and [The Tao of Redux, Part 2 - Practice and Philosophy](http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/05/idiomatic-redux-tao-of-redux-part-2/) is a detailed look at the history and intent behind Redux's design, how it's _meant_ to be used, why common usage patterns exist, and my thoughts on other ways that people sometimes use Redux.

I also highly recommend:

- Dan Abramov's classic post [You Might Not Need Redux](https://medium.com/@dan_abramov/you-might-not-need-redux-be46360cf367), which discusses the tradeoffs that Redux asks you to make, and the benefits you get in return
- Justin Falcone's post [What's So Great About Redux?](https://medium.freecodecamp.org/whats-so-great-about-redux-ac16f1cc0f8b), which looks at how Redux compares with OOP behavior, and how its design can be both a strength and a weakness.  Some very insightful thoughts.

Finally, come by the [Reactiflux chat channels on Discord](https://www.reactiflux.com/) - they're a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn.
