Dan,

First, thank you for all you do. Huge fan, and you're an asset to the community.

One question I have is around this quote:

> Learn React first and try to use it. If you have issues related to state or if you’re just curious, you can also learn Redux to compare their approaches.

I tried to go down this route with a new employee who I've positioned on a React project (mostly as means of exploration + learning in between other projects)

But as soon as I had to deal with fetching data from the server and pushing it back, I felt the need to jump into Redux. Yes, I could manage this in React, but as soon as I had two "pages" in my app, I feel it would become unwieldily note to use the Redux + Redux-Think (or Sagas) combo.

Am I wrong here, or am I just "comfortable" with Redux, and thus, not persuing the idea of trying to build a more featured app in pure React?



I don’t know, whatever works for you :-) I’m just saying that both ways can work fine.
