Gotcha covered.

I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React, Redux, and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a solid source of good info on more advanced topics. It includes links for learning core Javascript (ES5), modern Javascript (ES6+), React, Redux, and much more.

In addition, my "Practical Redux" tutorial series ( http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/practical-redux) shows how to use a variety of intermediate to advanced React and Redux techniques in the context of a sample app, and my "Idiomatic Redux" series (http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/series/idiomatic-redux ) discusses important aspects of good Redux usage, including why common patterns exist.

Finally, the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. The invite link is at https://www.reactiflux.com .

I know these are great resources, but I don't think redux should be taught with react. Most of the React projects I've seen using Redux didn't need it - all they needed was for their developers to have a deeper understanding of how React handles state.

Learn React first. When you have complex data management problems, consider learning Redux, but master Reacts own state management first.

Trust me, I agree. In fact, my standard copy-paste "advice on learning React" includes:

> Definitely don't over-complicate the learning process by trying to learn many different things at once. Some people will say you should use a "boilerplate" to learn React, and they're wrong - boilerplate projects almost always come with too many pieces configured, and are confusing for beginners.

> Instead, the best advice is to focus on learning React itself first. Once you have a good understanding of how React works, you will better appreciate why a state management library like Redux can be useful, and you can learn about other tools later.

That said, my rough estimates are that around 55-60% of React apps are using Redux, and it's also frequently used with Angular, Ember, and Vue, albeit sometimes in different forms (ngrx/store, vuex, etc). So, while I totally agree that most people should not try to learn Redux right away, it _is_ a very relevant topic to cover.
