I agree

> avoid it if you can

avoid using it in a project, sure, but don't avoid learning it. It definitely helped me level up as a developer.

My favorite resource for learning about redux: https://egghead.io/courses/getting-started-with-redux

On that note: I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials 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 info on more advanced topics.

https://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutoria... Is my favourite because it includes testing and knowing how to test it is super useful when you are just starting out with a tool.

this was actually the first resource I used and, while it got me off the ground, I strongly prefer Dan Abramov's egghead course that I linked above. That is the path to redux enlightenment!
