+title: Learning React - Resources
+---
+
+I've recently been getting into React, and this post is a list of the
+resources I found useful and insightful whilst learning this new technology.
+
+
+### [Pete Hunt: React: Rethinking best practices](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7cQ3mrcKaY)
+
+Pete Hunt describes how React is designed and the thoughts and ideas behind how
+it works, and the problems it solves compared to other libraries. A good place
+to start. From JSConf EU 2013, but still relevant.

+
+
+### [Thinking in React](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/thinking-in-react.html)
+
+Step-by-step buide to building a simple component in React. Written by Pete Hunt
+as well.
+
+
+### [React documentation](https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/getting-started.html)
+
+The official React documentation is a great up-to-date resource for learning the
+ins and outs of the library.
+
+
+### [ES6 guide](https://mrzepinski.gitbooks.io/es6-guide/content/index.html)
+
+A great free guide for ES6 describing all the exciting new features coming to
+JavaScript. You can safely use it today with a transpiler like BabelJS or the
+like.
+
+
+## That's it!
+
+For now... I will post more resources as I go deeper down the rabbit hole.
