Observations

I thought at first that it wouldn't be much of an issue to use regular JS syntax instead of JSX syntax.

Unfortunately, most of the React documentation is in JSX syntax.

I used the online JSX compiler to understand the JSX syntax http://facebook.github.io/react/jsx-compiler.html

In hindsight, just use the JSX syntax if like me, you're learning React.
