* Add benchmarking tutorial
I've written what I hope is the simplest introduction to benchmarking React components. It's meant to be straightforward and easy to follow for beginners. If you agree that it would be helpful, I'd like to add it to the docs.
Would also welcome any and all feedback.
* Just put links together
* Reminder: strip quotes from attributes with JS code
Web developers who are used to standards-compliant HTML and XML will, out of habit, put quotes around all attributes because the standards require them. Other templating systems like ASP.NET also require (or at least allow) quotes around attributes that contain code. This behavior will get users into trouble in JSX because a quoted attribute is always treated as a string literal, even if it contains curly-braced javascript code. Let's add to the docs to help newbies evade this problem.
* Tweak wording
* use an easier word
The word `mandatory` is relatively difficult for people with ESL (English as a second language), so I propose an alternative word.
This would be much easier to understand.
* use simpler word
* Update refs-and-the-dom.md
I want to propose some changes to the Refs and the DOM documentation page.
- Make it clear that string refs are legacy. It seems that this information got lost during the transition to new docs and only some part stayed the same, which was confusing when first reading the docs.
- Clarify and explain that during render, if the ref callback is provided, it will get called twice, first with `null` and then with the rendered DOM element. Discussed in https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/4533 and first proposed docs change in PR #8333.
I've also planned on adding an example for passing the refs up the component chain based on something I've needed to solve myself (e.g. you want to connect two dynamic components by line in React, so you need to both use refs and propagate them up the chain), and while it would be great to read up on this in the docs, it may be too specific for this section; I'd be happy to hear any recommendations.
* Adds more specific information about the callback
* Moved the ref callback description to the Caveats section
* Fixed suggested nits
* Replace 'each render pass' with 'updates'
* Tweak the wording
* Fix typo in Proposing a Change section in how-to-contribute.md
Not sure if it was actually intended or was a typo but changed 'If you intend to change to the public API' --> 'If you intend to make a change to the public API'
* Simplify
* Component Lifecycle In Depth documentation
* first steps to improve react component reference
* improved react component reference
- remove the component-lifecycle-in-depth
* add a note for usage of ReactDOM.findDOMNode
* one note on componentWillReceiveProps
* remove old useless images for lifecycle docs
* Tweak wording
