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!
