Workshop Content

The first part of this workshop will focus on the core functionality of Redux - pure functions, actions, reducers, and the store. After we build that foundation, we will layer in the React-Redux bindings and learn about components vs containers, building containers, accessing the store, async actions, middleware, thunks, hydrating data, and server-side fetching using Node + Express.

Not yet confident in your React skills? Begin your learning journey with the first workshop in this series, Introduction to React. Or even better, sign up for the discounted combined ticket for both workshops here.

Pre-Requisites
