I started last week and got decently up to speed with these three articles: [1] "ReactJS for Stupid People" - this explains what React is in simple meaningful terms. [2] "React.js Introduction For People Who Know Just Enough jQuery To Get By" - this shows you how things are usually done with just jQuery compared to how it's done in React. It really allows you to see why the jQuery way sucks. [3] "Flux For Stupid People" - by reading this you'll understand what the Flux stuff is about and can decide whether you need it or not - I chose to skip it. Finally, if you want to get up to speed with ES6 classes at the same time, [4] shows you a simple example. I personally started writing my React stuff this way straight away. I'm liking React a lot at this point.
