I want to use React all the time. I have a complex multi-step order form that it would be perfect for. I have a client-side image processing script that would decompose wonderfully into React components.

But I just can’t get my head around the requirements. I end up reverting to jQuery soup. I’d love a book on React that can take me from the basics (which I’ve mastered) and beyond building a comments list.

It’s frustrating because every time I watch a video from React Conf it makes me fire up VIM and start coding, but the end result looks a complete mess. And I’ve not idea where to even start with testing. I probably need to improve my overall javascript skills.
