React.js Introduction for People Who Know Just Enough JQuery

Since it is code that just translates to javascript, it's nice because you can have onClick handlers and such right inline, without having the downsides of inline javascript. You build reusable components that are self contained with their content and their logic. So you know when you use a component, the logic comes with it. You don't miss out on important bindings.

Also i've never really gotten into all the string magic that angular templates use. ng-click="myEvent()", vs passing the event to the component as a property feels.

The concept behind directives like ng-click is actually pretty simple underneath.

The Angular parser will go through the elements in the DOM and look for attributes it knows about like ng-click. When it finds ng-click, it will run the expression "myEvent()" on the controller's $scope.
