Do you have solid understanding of "vanilla" javascript (I assume you have, as you mentioned node and express)? React itself is not that hard to start with, if you are somehow proficient with javascript. I recommend official React documentation (I think this is an awesome tutorial to start with). Drop RxJS for now, as it's not really needed to understand React. If you have few bucks to spend, I recommend Stephen Grider's course on Udemy (there are few of them, start with the beginner's one, then eventually continue with more advanced ones if you want). Last thing, feel free to use create-react-app for now, skip webpack/babel/eslint configuration (it's unnecessary overhead for a beginner) and just dive into creating apps. Good luck with learning.

ahh okay and that way I can showcase my webapps by committing code on Github. Do you think there are any other Open Source projects to learn along with. Thank you :)
