100 Days of Code: Day 79

I’m only going to post a quick update today because I am heading down to downtown Dayton in a few hours to go to the Celtic Festival. It’s one of my favorite things about living here and something I look forward to every July.

One of these days I’ll make a proper post about my Celtic Fest experience. In the meantime, let’s get down to my coding adventure for today.

Using Redux with JavaScript and React.js

Today, I started learning about Redux, a predictable state container that can be used with JavaScript and React.js apps. I have learned some of the basics, including actions, reducers, the Redux store, and some of its methods.

These are the Redux challenges that I have completed on Free Code Camp:

• Create a Redux Store
• Get State from the Redux Store
• Define a Redux Action
• Define an Action Creator
• Dispatch an Action Event
• Handle an Action in the Store
• Use a Switch Statement to Handle Multiple Actions
• Use const for Action Types
• Register a Store Listener
• Combine Multiple Reducers
• Send Action Data to the Store

So far, the challenges have all been fairly simple. With only 6 remaining, I am starting to feel like there are still some blanks. I don’t quite understand how it’s going to all come together. Fortunately, there are more than a few tutorials and videos that can help fill in those blanks.
