JSConf
Pete Hunt of Facebook and Instagram introduces React at JSConf EU 2013 and explains its design principles. He argues that separating templates from logic only separates technologies, not concerns, and makes the case for components.
HN calls it the famous talk for understanding why React rejected separation of concerns by technology and for newcomers puzzled by JSX.
