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

Alright, take a step back.

Remember that in the story above, you couldn’t just go straight into the bank vault to retrieve your money from the bank. No. You had to see the Cashier first.

Well, you had an action in mind, but you had to convey that action to someone, the Cashier, which in turn communicated (in whatever way they did) with the vault that holds all of the bank’s money.

The last primary actor in Redux is the Reducer. In terms of our money withdrawal example, it is equivalent to the Cashier i. e. it interprets our actions and manipulates the app based on them.
