My talk will start with a brief introduction to the framework, and then dive into three controversial topics: Throwing out the notion of templates and building views with JavaScript, “re-rendering” your entire application when your data changes, and a lightweight implementation of the DOM and events." -- [Pete Hunt](http://www.petehunt.net/) ### Thinking in react - tagtree.tv A [tagtree.tv](http://tagtree.tv/) video conveying the principles of [Thinking in React](/react/docs/thinking-in-react.html) while building a simple app <figure>[](http://tagtree.tv/thinking-in-react)</figure> ### Secrets of the Virtual DOM - MtnWest JS <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/h3KksH8gfcQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> "In this talk I’ll be discussing why we built a virtual DOM, how it compares to other systems, and its relevance to the future of browser technologies." -- [Pete Hunt](http://www.petehunt.net/) ### Going big with React ### "On paper, all those JS frameworks look promising: clean implementations, quick code design, flawless execution. But what happens when you stress test Javascript? What happens when you throw 6 megabytes of code at it? In this talk, we'll investigate how React performs in a high stress situation, and how it has helped our team build safe code on a massive scale." <figure>[](https://skillsmatter.com/skillscasts/5429-going-big-with-react#video)</figure> ### CodeWinds [Pete Hunt](http://www.petehunt.net/) talked with [Jeff Barczewski](http://jeff.barczewski.com/) about React in CodeWinds Episode 4. <figure>[](http://codewinds.com/4)</figure> <table width="100%"><tr><td> 02:08 - What is React and why use it?<br /> 03:08 - The symbiotic relationship of ClojureScript and React<br /> 04:54 - The history of React and why it was created<br /> 09:43 - Updating web page with React without using data binding<br /> 13:11 - Using the virtual DOM to change the browser DOM<br /> 13:57 - Programming with React, render targets HTML, canvas, other<br /> 16:45 - Working with designers.

This screencast shows how to integate the two using [Backbone-React-Component](https://github.com/magalhas/backbone-react-component). Middleman is the framework used in this example but could easily be replaced with other frameworks. A supported template of this can be found [here](https://github.com/jbhatab/middleman-backbone-react-template). -- [Open Minded Innovations](http://www.openmindedinnovations.com/) ### Developing User Interfaces With React - Super VanJS <iframe width="650" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/1OeXsL5mr4g" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> By [Steven Luscher](https://github.com/steveluscher) ### Introduction to React - LAWebSpeed meetup <iframe width="650" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/SMMRJif5QW0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> by [Stoyan Stefanov](http://www.phpied.com/) ### React, or how to make life simpler - FrontEnd Dev Conf '14 <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/YJNUK0EA_Jo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> **In Russian** by [Alexander Solovyov](http://solovyov.net/) ### "Functional DOM programming" - Meteor DevShop 11 <iframe width="650" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/qqVbr_LaCIo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ### "Rethinking Web App Development at Facebook" - Facebook F8 Conference 2014 <iframe width="650" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nYkdrAPrdcw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> ### React and Flux: Building Applications with a Unidirectional Data Flow - Forward JS 2014 <iframe width="650" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/i__969noyAM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Facebook engineers [Bill Fisher](http://twitter.com/fisherwebdev) and [Jing Chen](http://twitter.com/jingc) talk about Flux and React, and how using an application architecture with a unidirectional data flow cleans up a lot of their code. ### Server-Side Rendering of Isomorphic Apps at SoundCloud <iframe src="//player.vimeo.com/video/108488724" width="500" height="281" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Walk-through by [Andres Suarez](https://github.com/zertosh) on how [SoundCloud](https://developers.soundcloud.com/blog/) is using React and Flux for server-side rendering.
