FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

React Hello World Examples

React "Hello World" Examples

Below are a small collection of React examples to get anyone started using React. They progress from simpler to more complex/full featured.

They will hopefully get you over the initial learning curve of the hard parts of React (JSX, props vs. state, lifecycle events, etc).

Usage

You will want to create an index.html file and copy/paste the contents of 1-base.html and then create a scripts.js file and copy/paste the contents of one of the examples into it.

Install wkhtml2pdf on ubuntu precise 64bit (12.04 LTS) with patched QT
# I managed to get the compiled version with patched QT working on ubuntu precise 64bit (12.04 LTS) and thought I'd share my bash history in the hopes it might spare others some trouble shooting.
# Also note that this install process takes rather long, you might want to consider running it in a screen or something
# you will be needing git if you haven't got it yet
sudo apt-get install git-core
# as per installation instructions, install dependencies for wkhtmltopdf
sudo apt-get install openssl build-essential xorg libssl-dev libxrender-dev
# clone the repo
