This is a wonderful idea and I'm glad you brought it to life. A lot of people missed something like this. I certainly couldn't write it myself. I remember in college I kept asking to write my book report, I used edubirdie.com/write-my-book-report for that. So it's not even worth talking about me. Always appreciated such people who do something for others. So help us.

The official docs is really good. I recommend looking into the basis section of my book and learn the fundamentals. Have a look here too reactjs.org/tutorial/tutorial.html Try to build small apps, best way to learn :)
