Server Rendering with React and React Router
This is one of the best tutorials I’ve found so far for describing how to make an isomorphic React app (AKA, SSR, Server-Side Rendering). It goes step-by-step, explaining what you’re trying to accomplish, and builds up from a basic “Hello, World” example, then adding initial data state, adding a component that fetches dynamic data, URL routing, and maintaining state between server and browser rendered views. Along the way, it covers various pitfalls and how/why to work around them.

Svelte • Cybernetically enhanced web apps
“Svelte is a radical new approach to building user interfaces. Whereas traditional frameworks like React and Vue do the bulk of their work in the browser, Svelte shifts that work into a compile step that happens when you build your app.”
I went through the interactive tutorial, and I liked it.
