I'd recommend starting with "React How To" by Pete Hunt [1] - it's one of the best collections of starter guides you'll need to get started with React.

And then you can always look at awesome-react. [2]

Sorry for the self promotion, but I wrote a few React tutorials with someone like you in mind. They're only covering the basics of React, coding directly in an html file, so they don't involve getting up and running with Node+React. But I think that should be tackled after you know the basics of React.

Building Your First React App: https://medium.com/learning-new-stuff/building-your-first-re...

Building Your Second React App: https://medium.com/learning-new-stuff/building-your-second-r...

React.JS in 8 minutes: https://medium.com/learning-new-stuff/learn-react-js-in-7-mi...

Other than that, I always recommend the official tutorial: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html

... and Egghead.io's videos: https://egghead.io/series/react-fundamentals

I found it quick to understand the ideas behind React, but it was a lot more difficult to understand how to apply that to practical problems and to 'think' in React.

React.js By Example [http://reactkungfu.com/react-by-example/] was enormously helpful in showing how to structure various different real-world apps. So if you find yourself beyond the basic CommentBox examples, but not sure how to build your own components then this might help.
