What are the best resources for someone looking to learn react and jsx?

Can I plug my own book? I’ve made the tutorial available for free just for you http://www.reactbook.org/samples/reacttutorial.html

Quite seriously: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html

Wow, really? As much as I have enjoyed playing with React, the docs seem very, very sparse to me. I wish I had a better suggestion, but for me it was a lot of trying things in code and googling Stack Overflow answers -- you know, the usual. (And this was, like, a week ago, not 6 months ago or whatever.)

Facebook's documentation is quite good: http://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html

They also merge pull requests quickly if you have suggestions or clarifications.

Beside the other links, I found a few react libs very useful. react-router [1] and material-ui [2].

The second one also has an example application that is a great boilerplate (if you like material ui and their work). I've been successfully using it in a couple of small apps [3, 4].

[1] https://github.com/rackt/react-router

[2] https://github.com/callemall/material-ui

[3] http://github.com/ecesena/oscars2015

[4] https://github.com/hasgluten/hasgluten

[2] is beautiful, but I wouldn't feel like staying a long time in a website using it... (paradoxically?)

Other than the docs: https://github.com/ryanflorence/react-training
