The Free React on Rails 5 course

You know Rails well. You've been using it for a while, at your job and for your own projects. You've got comfortable using jQuery on the frontend, and come to know its gotchas. Maybe you've dabbled in Backbone or looked at Angular.

Recently, you came across React. Everyone's talking about it. Every other job post on Hacker News mentions it. So you decide to up your frontend game and learn it. 

Maybe you've picked up the basics from some docs, blog posts and Youtube videos. It seems cool. But you're not sure if it's worth using it with Rails just yet.

It's all too confusing and intimidating. You thought React is just a frontend library, and you could just drop it in like jQuery. But then what's all this stuff about Babel, Webpack, ES6, Redux and five different gems for integrating with Rails.

You have more questions than answers now. 

Which gem should I use for integrating React in a Rails app?
Can I still use the asset pipeline?
Do I need to use Browserify or Webpack?
Do I need to make an API to use React?

It's too confusing, so you give up.

"jQuery works fine anyway", you think to yourself.

But you know you need to keep up with the times.

You might be able to get by without React for a few more months, but you know the next client or the next employer will want you to use it.

You won't be able to get that job or expand your freelance business unless you add React to your toolbelt.

You must learn React to make sure you get better work and earn more.

Fortunately, there’s a way to address this: by learning at least enough basics to be able to start using React with Rails. You won't become a pro overnight, you can get started very quickly today.
