The application which we will create is going to be like this:

We will be able to create new posts, and they will appear on the screen accordingly:

Note that the post also mentions Default User as the author. It is from the **Name** field on the left side. 

We can change the name and create a new post, registering that name as a new user and incrementing the **Users** in the App section. 

We can also see the number of posts by a User, and the Total Posts, on the left side. 

These are different components, yet they can access data from a single store. This is possible using Redux. 

The application is available in sandbox form below:

In this course, the user will learn how to use Redux and React to create powerful applications.

In this section we will learn what Redux is, why it is useful, and most importantly when it is useful. We will also learn how to set up a basic react-redux application.

In this section we will go through the fundamental concepts of Redux that are necessary to understand the workings of a Redux application. We will use code examples to understand the concepts and in the following section we will use them practically.

In the previous section we looked at the basic concepts. In this section we use those basic concepts to understand some more complicated concepts and the structure of a Redux application. In the end we will also look at the Counter application to put together all the pieces of our knowledge together.

This chapter is focused on practice hence we will utilize the knowledge we acquired in previous sections to create a practical application using Redux along with React.
