" Just build stuff until it the pieces start to fall into place?"
That's exactly what I had to do. It's much easier to understand WHY certain parts of Flux were put in place once you start to use them in a larger app.
Deconstruct one of the Facebook examples (I'd recommend the todo app) and see how data is passed around. I had several light-bulb moments doing this.
Also: It helps to understand commonJS and a bit of node -- specifically what they use Browserify for.
