Neos CMS Goes for a Full UI Rewrite with React and Redux, why Redux makes refactoring easy, and the theory of higher order components
Everyone learns a lot from re-writing their product in a different framework. Not everyone is nice enough to share what they learn. Luckily the folks over at Neos CMS are, so here's what they learned migrating their product to use React and Redux.
A framework/tool’s ability to let you refactor easily should be considered a very attractive feature. A lot of software only supports shooting yourself in the foot. Redux is flexible enough to let you refactor easily and safely even if your first draft wasn’t perfect. Read to find out why.
A really nice thing about working with React is the idea of higher-order components. Higher-order components concept goes back to higher-order functions, functional programming concept, describing the function that takes other function(s) and returns a function. In exactly the same way, higher-order component takes another component(s) and return a component.
Learning React can be tricky since there are so many different levels to what you need to learn. In this article Dave walks through what technologies to learn along side React when you're first starting out.

Wes is known for producing great online content. In this course he tackles Redux. Best part, it's free.
ReactPerfTool tries to give you a more visual way of debugging performance of your React application. It does this by using the addons delivered by the React team and community to get measurements and visualize this using graphs. This makes it easier to spot bottlenecks.
React Cards is inspired by Bruce Hauman's excellent devcards project which aims to provide ClojureScript developers with a visual REPL-like experience especially suited for UI development.
React Cards tries to bring a similar experience to React developers, opening up the possibility to quickly test the look and feel as well as the behavior of a component. Furthermore enabling developers to write markdown and even run tests against the component, displaying the test results as a React component itself.
