I&#x27;m part of that target audience, and you scored a bullseye with me. I always prefer to learn a new technology this way, by building very simple things from scratch and making minor modifications this way and that until I know what all the low-level parts do. Then, you can add some conveniences to the mix explaining what they do in terms of the underlying technology I just learned (and I can tell which parts are the base technology and which belong to this add-on), until I feel I could recreate these conveniences or build my own alternatives, if I chose to.<p>That way, I can decide for myself how to use the technology, break away from the typical stack of add-ons at any point I choose and take it from there in a direction that better suits my needs, dig in and figure out what&#x27;s going on if I have a problem, and so on, rather than being helplessly dependent on a magical black box.<p>Thank you for starting off by teaching low-level React without any JSX, Flux, Redux, or whatever. I wish more tutorials did that.
