Following on the last talk by Evan Summers (http://nodeza.co.za/events/redis-and-reactjs-for-fast-websites) we present the second part focussing on the React side of the story.
React is an isomorphic library which can render HTML on the server.
We discuss the cost/benefit of React on Node for our use-case of digital media websites, e.g. for search and social bots, and also pre-rendering cachable pages for a faster user experience.
We continue our Node Express example app from last time, where we stored blog articles in a Redis database. We now render them using React on Node.
