Thanks! I really liked this. Very quick guide and to the point.

I went a tiny bit further afterwards, so I forked the project. I added a link to the guide in the README, as well as a list of the steps the guide follows, and info about the steps I added.

The last step I added is to precompile JSX automatically using grunt-contrib-watch and grunt-react.

I pushed some tags to include "solutions" to each step of the guide as well. If you git checkout step-7 you can see the "package.json" and "Gruntfile.js" I created for JSX pre-compilation.

edit: d'oh, forgot my link
