I suggest you to learn React itself first. No Redux, no routing, just React itself. Build a few small apps to get a feel for it. When you need routing, I suggest trying to use HTML5 pushState API. Figure out how to use it in React, and try to add routing to one of your apps. After that, I think React Router 4 is going to be a great next thing to try. Get a feel for it and use it if you like it and if it solves your problems. I think RR4 is shaping up to be much better than previous versions. Disclaimer: I work on the React team.
