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

In the previous lesson, we looked at the implementation for **App.js**

import React, { Component } from "react";
import HelloWorld from "./HelloWorld";
import ButtonGroup from "./ButtonGroup";
import { store } from "./store";
class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return [
      <HelloWorld key={1} tech={store.getState().tech} />,
      <ButtonGroup key={2} technologies={["React", "Elm", "React-redux"]} />
    ]; 
  }
}
export default App;


We shall now discuss the **ButtonGroup** component.

The ButtonGroup component takes in an array of technologies and spits out
buttons. It handles the rendering of the three buttons below the “Hello World” text.

The creation of our app's buttons will be handled in this lesson using ButtonGroup.js. It will also discuss several aspects of our button template.
