React hooks have become widespread since their introduction, and React-Redux recently introduced a new hooks API as an alternative to the traditional `connect()` HOC. Many React developers have questions about how these approaches differ.  We'll look at some of the strengths, weaknesses, and tradeoffs for both hooks and HOCs in general, and what this means for React-Redux users specifically as they decide how to write their applications.

Hooks, HOCS, and Tradeoffs

Redux and React are frequently used together, and many people are familiar with the "Provider" and "connect" APIs from React-Redux. But how does React-Redux work, and why do we even need it in the first place? 

Join Redux maintainer Mark Erikson on a journey through the history and internals of React-Redux. We'll dig into: 

- How a UI layer interacts with the Redux store 
- The design goals that shaped the React-Redux API 
- How the React-Redux implementation has changed over time 
- What the future holds for React-Redux

The State of Redux

Redux is the most widely-used state management library for React applications, and has spread throughout the Javascript ecosystem. However, the learning curve can be steep for many people. 

Come join Redux co-maintainer Mark Erikson as we talk about the core concepts of Redux, how to use Redux with React, and how Redux was designed to make Javascript applications predictable.
