Almost every React application needs to fetch data from a server and cache the result between renders.

Traditionally, in-memory API Caching is something that has been done in React applications either on a per-component-level, which lead to application state running out of sync, or using a global state like Redux, which required a lot of hand-written code. 

RTK Query is part of the official Redux Toolkit and provides an application-global API cache that abstracts most of that hand-written code away, leading to a lot more readable code bases.

It also offers a lot of advanced features like auto-generated hooks 

In this course, you will learn about

- Using `createApi` to define multiple endpoints to interact with your API
- The auto generated `useQuery` hooks and how to use them in your application
- The RTK Query Dataflow and the role of the `baseQuery` function
- The Redux Devtools “RTK Query” Monitor and which actions are flowing though your app
- How to use RTK Query either with an `ApiProvider` or a pre-existing Redux store
- Using RTK Query with TypeScript

Redux is a predictable state container for JavaScript apps.
It helps you write applications that behave consistently, run in different environments (client, server, and native), and are easy to test.

Next.js is one of the most popular server-side-rendered React frameworks you can use to build production-ready serverless applications in record time. 

On the other hand, Fauna is a flexible, serverless, distributed document-relational database. Fauna has a powerful GraphQL API and custom resolver support. 

Using Next.js and Fauna, you can build robust, feature-rich, production-ready full-stack applications without the hassle of managing any servers or databases.

In this course, Shadid guides you through building your very own full-stack serverless marketplace application using Next.js, GraphQL, and Fauna. 

You will learn,

- How to work with Apollo GraphQL Client in Next.js
- How to setup Fauna GraphQL
- Data modeling in Fauna
- How to write custom Fauna GraphQL Resolvers (UDFs)
- How to authenticate with Auth0?
- Stripe payment 



GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with your existing data. GraphQL provides a complete and understandable description of the data in your API, gives clients the power to ask for exactly what they need and nothing more, makes it easier to evolve APIs over time, and enables powerful developer tools.

Full-Stack Serverless Applications with Next.js & Fauna

On the surface, starting a project sounds easy. First you make some directories, install some dependencies, then you write some code.

But there's a bit more to it than just those three steps.

The type of project you're working on impacts the decisions you make. It gets more complicated when you're working on multiple projects that are related. For example, maybe you have a customer-facing frontend app, an admin dashboard app, and a single backend used for both.

How does this change your directory structures? How should you share code between projects? What happens when you add a Design System into the mix?

It can get hard to keep things straight in your head.

Nx is a tool that aims to solve these problems for you, whether you're working solo on a small full-stack app or on a dev team of thousands.

It's not just an opinionated folder structure. When you create an app with Nx, it generates unit and e2e test setups as well as preparing bundling and code-splitting with Webpack, and stubbing out common features like routing.

One of the coolest features of Nx is its Dependency Graph. The graph can visually show you the relationship between the parts of your application, and is optimized to ensure that compiling, testing, and linting only happens in the affected areas of your project.

In this course, Juri Strumpflohner demonstrates these features and more through the iterative creation of a React + Storybook + Express app. Don't worry if this isn't your preferred stack! Nx supports the most popular frameworks & libraries on the web.

More importantly, the focus of this course is more on the workflow than the implementation.

Watch Juri's course, and see if the Nx tooling & workflow is right for you and your team!

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications.

A series of lessons to help you get more familiar with modern JavaScript syntax.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Jotai's state management is primitive and flexible. This gives you room to build, compose, and share state throughout your application exactly how you need it.

This flexibility can become hard to manage when you have complex requirements that span across a number of states your application can be in.

Jotai lets you leverage other state management solutions through integrations so that you can solve the problem you're facing exactly how you need to.

One of those integrations is XState. XState gives you a safe abstraction to enumerate and handle the complex states your application can be in.

With Jotai + XState, you get the flexibility and ease of use of Jotai with the power of XState.

XState is a sophisticated library to provide a better and safer abstraction for state management. 

Complex State Management in React with Jotai and XState

There are two major categories that you'll encounter when you start to build Full Stack applications. 

You have:
💽 Database Management 
👥 Authentication

Both of these contain their unique set of challenges and layer on top of each other as you build out your application.

You want to be able to Create, Read, Update, and Delete data from your database and also make sure that only the right users are performing these actions that you specify.

That is why this course is set up around these two categories.

You'll learn everything you need to about managing data using a service called Appwrite within your React application. Using Appwrite, you'll be able to create a database, upload files, and manage users. 

You'll start out by building out the database while purposefully ignoring authentication/authorization through out the application. 

The second part of the course will have you layer on auth so that you can enable users to log in and scope specific actions to roles that you'll create.

This course is focused on the full stack nature of web development so we will start with almost all of our UI built out for us. You can explore the course repository to get familiar with what components are available. 

Full Stack with React and Appwrite

Learn how to build a simple REST API to store notes using the latest built-in node features including native ES modules, the fs/promises API, async/await, the nullish coalescing operator, and destructuring. No compilers, no build steps, pure code.

This collection of lessons is great for beginners to Express as long as they are familiar with JavaScript and the HTTP protocol. Those more familiar with node and express will appreciate a fast-paced, modern take on using these popular tools and will likely benefit most from the lessons on input validation, models (which emphasizes a lot of new syntax), using fs/promises to serialize a `Map`, and accessing asynchronous data with `async/await`.

Pre-requisites:

- [Install curl](https://curl.haxx.se/)
- [Install node 14](http://nodejs.org/)
- Be familiar with the terminal

View the source for this project in the [project's github repo](https://github.com/xjamundx/egghead-express).

**Notes**:

- I'm not very pedantic about REST and basically just mean an API over HTTP
- [Express 5](https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html) is still in alpha (and has been for over two years), but most of these lessons apply to Express 4 as long you use something like [express-async-errors](https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-async-errors) to add support for `async` routes and middleware

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

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).

React State Management Expert Interviews

The difficulty of managing state is one of the primary reasons our applications become so complex. We try and manage this complexity with a lot of booleans, somewhat semantic variables like `isLoading`, `wasFetched`, and `hasError`, and over-engineered systems that are _still_ full of bugs. Surely, there's a better way.

That better way is *state machines*.

State machines formalize how we define and transition through the states of our application and give us ultimate control of the most complex parts of our apps.

In this course, 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 time you're done taking this course, you should have a solid education about state machines and be able to start applying them.

Statecharts are a formalism for modeling stateful, reactive systems. This is useful for declaratively describing the behavior of your application, from the individual components to the overall application logic.

Storybook is a tool for UI development. It makes development faster and easier by isolating components. This allows you to work on one component at a time. You can develop entire UIs without needing to start up a complex dev stack, force specific data into your database.

In this course, Michael Chan will teach you how to integrate Storybook 6.3 with Next.js 11 so that you can flawlessly build UIs. 

The course will kick off by taking the default Next.js page and turning it into a Story. You will then learn how to leverage Story `Args`, configure the `next/image` component to be unoptimized, and mock server workers with MSW inside Storybook.

Next.js is a minimalistic framework for server-rendered React applications.

jotai is a primitive and flexible state management solution for React. 

jotai gives you a minimalistic API that you can use that separates your state management from your UI. You get the benefits of well manages state AND you don't have to set up any boilerplate like defining actions, reducers, dispatchers, or stores. 

You create an atom and you're off to the races managing your application state.

In this course, you'll build an SVG drawing application. You'll see how you can represent the canvas as state through atoms and add svg path, change the path colors, delete, and even undo actions. You'll sum up your learning by learning how jotai can isolate state in your applications by using and composing Providers.

You'll be able to use the concepts you learn here to manage any state in your own application.

GitHub Tips & Tricks

Cloudflare Workers let you write JavaScript Service Workers that run directly in Cloudflare's 200+ edge locations around the world.

With a Cloudflare Worker, you can modify your site's HTTP requests and responses, make parallel requests, and even reply directly from the edge.

Cloudflare Workers are written against a similar API to the W3C Service Workers standard. However, while Service Workers run inside the end user's browser, Cloudflare Workers run on Cloudflare's servers. This means that Cloudflare Workers can implement trusted code (which the client cannot tamper with), and will work no matter what browser the user is running.

In this course, Kristian Freeman will teach you how to build and deploy a Serverless API with Cloudflare Workers. By learning how to build your own serverless JSON APIs, you can effectively manage a highly-available backend for your projects, without needing to learn DevOps or manage services.

Cloudflare secures and ensures the reliability of your external-facing resources such as websites, APIs, and applications. It protects your internal resources such as behind-the-firewall applications, teams, and devices. And it is your platform for developing globally-scalable applications.

In this course, we'll build a video course platform using the AWS Amplify Admin UI. 

The Admin UI provides simple yet powerful tools to model database tables, add authentication and authorization, and manage app content, users, and groups. It also offers the ability to manage the application users and content. 

The AWS Amplify Admin UI focuses on data types rather than backend infrastructure. 

All the backend resources generate infrastructure as code (IaC) templates that can be committed in the team repository and integrated with AWS Amplify continuous deployment workflow to manage the different environments.

Before taking this course, you should have a basic understanding of React Hooks.

Get Started with the AWS Amplify Admin UI

Cloudflare Workers is a serverless application platform that enables you to create and deploy functions to Cloudflare's Edge Network.

Unlike other serverless providers that only have regional data centers, Cloudflare's Edge Network consists of hundreds of servers all over the world.

Cloudflare Workers is a powerful platform, and this course serves as a great introduction for what it can do.

Follow along with Kristian Freeman as you build a localization engine that renders data based on the Edge location nearest to the application's user.

After this course, you'll be ready to start experimenting with your own Cloudflare Workers projects. *Need an idea?* *[Check out the suggested Portfolio Project for this course.](https://egghead.io/projects/introduction-to-cloudflare-workers)*
