Thanks for recommendation, the tutorial looks impressive and overwhelming in the same as I'm just a beginner with React.

The tutorial is a little overwhelming, but you just take one step at a time and google any concept that you don't understand. One of the best aspects of this tutorial is that it relies on tests, which means that you gain a greater practical understanding of the functionality that you are implementing.

  Kinda off topic but can i use React with Rails? Or better yet is it beneficial?
  - judahmeek 10y ago
    Yes, you certainly can. This is actually a topic that I've been exploring for a little while now. http://www.openmindedinnovations.com/blogs/3-ways-to-integrate-ruby-on-rails-react-flux http://www.openmindedinnovations.com/blogs/3-ways-to-integra... is a decent, although old article on the three different ways that it can be done. I personally recommend https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails as the solution to this issue. Instead of merely providing you with React and React only like https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails https://github.com/reactjs/react-rails does, it welds Node & Rails together to enable you to use the latest and greatest of the javascript ecosystem. As for the benefits of doing so, having started my web development journey with Rails, I like to think that Rails provides an excellent convention for Backend MVC & ORM while Node gives you access to up-to-date javascript libraries & frameworks. Combining Node & Rails allows to you to exploit the strengths of both systems in exchange for dealing with greater complexity.

      Can you explain more about the community? Is it beginner friendly or for freelancing etc? Sorry, but nothing is mentioned on the website.

        Reactiflux is a general discussion community for just about anything involving React and various related libraries, as well as Javascript. There's several general channels (#general, #need-help, etc), as well as channels for specific libraries like Redux, React-Native, Webpack, and more. It's _very_ beginner-friendly!
