## What it is
A written guide by a former Facebook React core team member explaining how to navigate the React ecosystem in a sensible learning order. It covers React itself, npm, bundlers, ES6, routing, and Flux, plus advanced optional topics.

## Use cases
- learn react from scratch
- understand the react ecosystem
- what order should i learn react tooling
- guide to npm and javascript bundlers for react
- react onboarding for new frontend developers
- do i need flux or server rendering for my react app

## When to choose
- you are new to React or frontend development and overwhelmed by tooling choices
- you want a curated, opinionated learning order from a React core team veteran
- you want to know which React ecosystem topics are optional

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date coverage of modern React (hooks, server components, Vite)
- you want interactive tutorials or code exercises rather than prose
- you are already an experienced React developer

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation, developer-tools
- domain: frontend, web-development, tutorials
- platform: -
- tags: react, guide, ecosystem, learning-path, javascript, web-server, nodejs
