Managing state in a UI is challenging. It's genuinely difficult and the solutions require a depth of knowledge and experience to understand. Everything is a balance of tradeoffs in complexity, performance, and user experience.
This is a series of interviews with experts, open-source maintainers, and UI developers that have combined decades of experience building stateful UI applications for millions of users.
Part interview, part screen share, these videos should benefit you if you're building web applications.
They focus on React, but the underlying principles are valid for UI work in general (and beyond)!
It's a useful research compilation of the current status of the state management for frontend applications today.
Literally made me decide to use state machines to power the component library we're making for our company.
We will explore the problems state machines purport to solve, like boolean explosion. We'll try to solve it our own way first, get so far, and then demonstrate how state machines get us all the way. After that, we'll dive into the XState library, JavaScript's premiere state machine library, to learn its API and how to use it to solve our problems.
By the end of this course, you'll learn how to: Run (and Skip) side-effects with the useEffect hook, Write a custom hook to share logic in your app, Simplify the Context API with the useContext hook, Update state with dispatch actions using the useReducer hook, Optimize Components with useMemo
Recent updates to redux exposing a hooks-based API address some of its most serious drawbacks and make it even more appealing. This course will show you how to apply redux to a modern react hooks application. I hope you leave this course with a continued appreciation for React Hooks and renewed enthusiasm for Redux.
