Hi! Good work with the blog in the preceding chapter, and welcome to the last chapter of the book, which is a sequel to the blog that we built in the preceding chapter. In this chapter, we will fix that annoying 3 second loading issue on the blog by learning about centralized state management with Redux.
Just as we covered only the basics of React in the preceding chapter, this chapter is simple and will cover the basic concepts of Redux, which will change building web applications forever. That leaves us with only one simple question: What is Redux?
