Minimal React.js Without A Build Step. React is pretty dependent on a build phase, to handle things like JSX compilation. This is fine for most projects, but sometimes I just want to hot-link react

from a CDN and knock out a quick self-contained mini-application. Shing Lyu points out that this is much easier if you ditch JSX in favour of direct calls to React.createElement()
.
