I suspect part of the rub is that with react being only the 'V' in MVC, stand-alone tutorials leave you with only part of the picture. And, of course, people are choosing different paths to fill in the rest of the stack. All of which pull your specific 'style' of using react in slightly different directions.

You're halfway there, because React is the V but there's no MVC. That design pattern isn't common in the ecosystem, and instead a functional, unidirectional design pattern called Flux is a better fit.

Searching for MVC trips a lot of developers up.

I can only recommend two: - The official Facebook React tutorial. It might be unsexy, but hell it's good. In fact, it's the best official documentation I've ever seen: https://facebook.github.io/react/docs/tutorial.html - React for Beginners. The only screencast that didn't make me want to fall asleep – worth every dollar: http://reactforbeginners.com

Fully agree. React for beginners was great.

I highly recommend the Full Stack Redux Tutorial:

http://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutorial...

Learning Redux from the get go means you can skip a lot of React's internal state management / lifecycle methods.

The tutorial also covers a bunch of relevant topics like TDD with React, immutable.js, and socket.io.
