I always recommend this article to people who want to learn react, as it focuses on the concepts and not the code, which actually differs a lot on if you use a JS compiler: http://jlongster.com/Removing-User-Interface-Complexity,-or-...

The author creates a library, piece by piece, which introduces the same concepts. Makes it much easier to jump into the 'real' framework.

Per Dan's suggestion, you should start with the actual docs.

After that, I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials and articles on React, Redux, and related topics, at https://github.com/markerikson/react-redux-links . Specifically intended to be a great starting point for anyone trying to learn the ecosystem, as well as a solid source of good info on more advanced topics. It includes links for learning core Javascript (ES5), modern Javascript (ES6+), React, Redux, and much more. I also published an "Intro to React (and Redux)" presentation at http://blog.isquaredsoftware.com/2017/02/presentation-react-... , which is a good overview of the basic concepts for both React and Redux.

Also, the Reactiflux chat channels on Discord are a great place to hang out, ask questions, and learn. The invite link is at https://www.reactiflux.com .

I'd recommend to start with the official tutorial and docs.

This repo has been quite helpful pour moi...

Thanks! In the past I've looked at the docs and got something basic going with create-react-app, but since I've been put off by little things here and there I'd like to see a working example of a larger system to better appreciate what's good about React. This seems like what I was looking for.

Looks good but can any React experts comment as to

- whether or not this really uses best practices?

- leverages React to the fullest?

Those are both pretty broad questions. Skimming through the code, I'd say it's a reasonable example of a React+Redux codebase. I don't think I could say it "leverages React to the fullest", because it's unclear exactly what that means, and this is not an overly complex sample application. But, it does serve as a useful example of something more "real" than yet another TodoMVC clone.
