React State Management in 2021
Instructor
Joel Hooks
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).

Introduction to State Machines Using XState
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.
Reusable State and Effects with React Hooks
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
Redux with React Hooks
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.
