Reed Loden 3e8951e8c7 SSL/TLSize all the things! (convert http:// to https:// where appropriate)
Update links to use https:// where it is supported. There's probably a lot
more that could be fixed, but these are the core ones I found (especially
the download links in order to prevent MITM attacks). Note that there are
some fb.me links that will redirect to http:// even while accessed over
https://, but this seemed like the best way to fix those for now.

NOTE: Only non-third-party files were modified. There are references to
http:// URLs in vendored/third-party files, but seems appropriate to fix
upstream for those rather than editing the files.

Also, copy one image locally to the blog, as it was hotlinking to a site
that did not support https://.

Last, use youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com for video embeds,
as the former doesn't try to set a cookie on load (privacy enhancement).

<h3>Just the UI</h3>
<p>
Lots of people use React as the V in MVC.
Since React makes no assumptions about the rest of your technology stack,
it&apos;s easy to try it out on a small feature in an existing project.
</p>

<h3>Virtual DOM</h3>
<p>
React abstracts away the DOM from you, giving a simpler programming model and better performance. React can also render on the server using Node, and it can power native apps using <a href="https://facebook.github.io/react-native/">React Native</a>.
</p>

<h3>Data flow</h3>
<p>
React implements one-way reactive data flow which reduces boilerplate and is
easier to reason about than traditional data binding.

<h3>A Simple Component</h3>
<p>
React components implement a `render()` method that takes input data and
returns what to display. This example uses an XML-like syntax called
JSX. Input data that is passed into the component can be accessed by
`render()` via `this.props`.
</p>
<p>
<strong>JSX is optional and not required to use React.</strong> Try
clicking on "Compiled JS" to see the raw JavaScript code produced by
the JSX compiler.
</p>
<div id="helloExample"></div>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>A Stateful Component</h3>
<p>
In addition to taking input data (accessed via `this.props`), a
component can maintain internal state data (accessed via `this.state`).
When a component's state data changes, the rendered markup will be
updated by re-invoking `render()`.
</p>
<div id="timerExample"></div>
</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>An Application</h3>
<p>
Using `props` and `state`, we can put together a small Todo application.
This example uses `state` to track the current list of items as well as
the text that the user has entered. Although event handlers appear to be
rendered inline, they will be collected and implemented using event
delegation.
</p>

</div>
<div class="example">
<h3>A Component Using External Plugins</h3>
<p>
React is flexible and provides hooks that allow you to interface with
other libraries and frameworks. This example uses **marked**, an external
Markdown library, to convert the textarea's value in real-time.
</p>
<div id="markdownExample"></div>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="/react/js/marked.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/react/js/examples/hello.js"></script>
