Caveat: I am not a JavaScript dev; my depth is WordPress and because of Gutenberg I've had to brush up on my JS.

React is a JavaScript framework where you create reusable JavaScript components that translate to HTML output. <-- ish.

Aside from the syntax (components, es5/6, JSX) I've found React relatively easy to pick up. (I like Vue better tho. =pppppp)

React for Beginners - Good course! I'm going through it right now.
Zac Gordon React Bootcamp - I took Zac's JS4WP bootcamp at the beginning of this year and it was worth every penny. Great setup, live lectures, exercises, and a Slack channel you can use to ask questions.

Docz of WP Gutenberg Components I used this site to muck about with React components and get a deeper understanding of how they work. (I also spent an evening poring over the Gutenberg repo to see how things were connected. XD)

(I know. Overkill. But I love sharing learning resources!)
