- Cerebral Introduction Video (an excellent account of the gradual evolution from vanilla MVC to State-Tree MVC, and the problems that were solved at each step)
- Full Stack Redux Tutorial (an awesome step-by-step tutorial culminating in the creation of a very impressive State-Tree MVC app)
and finally, some food for thought from the Cerebral web-site:
Enjoy!
