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

I love the idea of using objects over arrays - for most use cases. There are some caveats to be aware of though.

**Caveat #1** : It’s a lot easier to iterate over Arrays in your view logic.

A common situation you’ll find yourself in is the need to render a list of
components.

For example, to render a list of users given a users prop, your logic would look something like this:

We have chosen to work with objects, but aren't arrays easier to iterate over? The Lodash library will solve this problem for us.
