A comment on React.js in Real Life at Codecademy.

Just started looking into React yesterday. What I've read thus far doesn't discuss your server-side at all. Is it agnostic to what's running on your server ... any JSON-based RESTful back-end will do, or are there benefits to using a specific stack for your back-end?

React is indeed agnostic to your server-side stack. Only thing is you'll need a node.js server if you want server-side rendering. (Codecademy runs ours separately from the rails app so we can do server side rendering.)
