By the end of this course you will have a solid grasp of state management fundamentals in React applications using the useState utility in functional components. We will start by focusing on the core concepts of state management reinforced by code examples which start off simple to drill the concepts and nuances of this pattern. We then take a deeper dive into understanding the asynchronous nature of the setState() method, and how we can work with this to achieve what we want to from our development processes. This course is aimed at developers who are familiar with React and state management in general, understand the basics well, and would like to have some more experience, especially using some of the more advanced and dynamic development patterns in React.
