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

**Caveat #2** : Preservation of Order.

This is perhaps the number one reason people use arrays. Arrays preserve the order of their values.

You have to see an example to understand this.

    const numbers = [0,3,1,6,89,5,7,9]

Whatever you do, fetching the value of numbers will always return the same array, with the order of the inputs unaltered.

How about an object? Try it out below.

The problem with iterating over objects is that the order of iteration can vary. We will use State Object Normalization to solve this.
