Hi my name is Stephen Greider and I hope you are as excited as I am for getting started on learning 2
react and redux in this section. 3
We're going to start off by doing a little bit of administrative work so we're going to talk about what 4
we're going to learn. 5
We're going to talk about how to get help as we go through this course. 6
Let's start by talking a little bit about our goals and methods for learning redux. 7
You know a little bit about how this course is going to be structured. 8
I'm looking at a Trillo board here with a couple of very high level tasks for the first two major sections 9
of this course. 10
The first thing that we're going to do is get a boiler plate project. 11
We're not going to start off totally from scratch for our first project we're going to start off with 12
a little bit of a head start. 13
We're going to use this head start to get a lot more familiar with react. 14
You're not familiar with re-act yet. 15
Don't sweat it. 16
We're going to go through it all the way from the basics to advanced level once we're more familiar 17
with react. 18
We're going to talk a little bit about general data modeling you know how do applications get put together 19
. 20
How can we think about them. 21
And once we've talked about that and we've got a better handle on how to model applications then we're 22
going to start to delve into redux. 23
If you're already familiar with three act I still recommend you at least skim through these sections 24
. 25
We're going to talk about a lot of very new concepts like yes six and a lot of other advanced re-act 26
topics and that's what makes sure that even if you are familiar with re-act already you've got a solid 27
foundation a solid base to go into the redux content. 28
So let's talk a little bit more about one other topic and that is how to get help. 29
These are the best resources for getting help for me during this course. 30
If you have any questions about anything you know any errors pop up you don't know why they're popping 31
up some content is unclear. 32
Maybe I misspeak in some section you know whatever it might be the best way to get in contact with me 33
is via email or Twitter. 34
You can see my e-mail right here at the top whenever you e-mail me a question if it's a question that 35
involves troubleshooting your code. 36
Let's say you know you're getting some error message you don't understand why it's popping up. 37
I can definitely help you troubleshoot that if you email me. 38
Just make sure to e-mail me. 39
You include your project or the relevant files. 40
The number one thing I am going to do whenever I help you troubleshoot is look at your code. 41
So if you e-mail me and you include your project files I'll be able to run your code and troubleshoot 42
whatever issue you have. 43
And I can really help you solve the issue if you have really quick questions. 44
You know maybe one small topic is a little bit confusing. 45
Twitter is a great place to get in contact with me in general. 46
I check my e-mail and Twitter about once or twice a day and I usually sit down and do a mass you know 47
about 30 minutes section session once per day to answer any questions for all of my courses. 48
So if you reach out to me Give me at least 24 hours and in general I'll be able to get back to you. 49
Finally you can find a ton of course resources on my hub which is good. 50
How come. 51
Slash Stephen Grider. 52
One item note is that when you're looking at my get high profile notice that I've got a lot of different 53
Rebe repose with the words react or react cast's or something something react in the title. 54
Always be aware that or always make sure that you're looking at the correct repo when you clone it. 55
I've had several people accidentally clone the incorrect repo and then they get all of it confusing 56
because the files that they pull down are not the same files as the ones that we're talking about in 57
the video. 58
So whenever we pull from a repo just double check on the title make sure it's the same one. 59
OK so now we've got the administrative stuff out of the way. 60
Let's get started in the next section.
