Reusable State and Effects with React Hooks

This week my latest Egghead.io course was launched entitled, Reusable State and Effects with React Hooks.

Previously, in order to add state or side-effects in React you had to create a Class Component. However, with the introduction of the Hooks proposal (currently pre-released), you can now add state and effects to a Function Component. In addition, you can extract your hook logic and create a custom hook that can be shared across your app.
