Hello there, welcome to pragmatic MobX in React! I'm glad that you made it here to learn about MobX in React.
The course gives you a well balanced mixture of theoretical and practical knowledge about MobX. It is called "pragmatic MobX in React", because you can skip the theoretical reading material and dive straight away into the video course where you will build one application with React and MobX. The video course demonstrates you everything from setting up MobX in React, over to connecting it to a view-layer (such as React), to performing asynchronous requests when having MobX as state layer.
But the video course where you will build one application straight away is not everything. It comes with theoretical reading material to get you up and running when using MobX as state layer. To be more specific, the reading material is an excerpt from my recent ebook called Taming the State in React. You can downloaded the whole ebook in this course, which teaches advanced state management in React with React's local state, Redux and MobX, to get you started in the whole topic.
So how to conduct this course? There are two ways to do it.
1) My recommendation is to learn the theoretical and fundamental knowledge first by using the reading material and dive into building an own application by watching the videos afterward. The ebook Taming the State in React is split up into 3 main chapters: React's Local State, Redux and MobX. You can leave out the Redux chapter to keep your focus on MobX for the sake of the course. Afterward, you are setup to watch the video course to learn about MobX in React and to build your own application with it.
2) If you don't want to read up all the material, you can dive into the videos right away to build your own application in MobX and React. On the way, you might have the one or other question. You can write those down and look them up in the ebook after taking the video course.
After all, I hope you can learn tons from this course and enjoy taking it. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
Best wishes, Robin.
