This is the first in a new series focused on the Flutter Redux library. @tensor revisits this topic from a previous tutorial to provide further details that were not covered earlier. The tutorial is very thorough and sequential. I like that he provides personal insight into what works for him and suggests ways that learners may avoid pitfalls in trying his ideas. I am looking forward to further tutorials in this series.
