I'm interested in learning React, but brand new to front-end tooling (npm/webpack/etc). When doing this tutorial I got derailed by npm start, and the host of errors it led me through. Does anyone have any advice for learning the tooling pre-requisites that go along with React development? I'm happy to buy books, pay for courses, whatever it takes.
