Hookay, so a few things.

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmwBow1PUuo has been very helpful in terms of making sense of action handlers, reducers, how Redux state works its way into React, and state stores. @ShaneChesnutt you'll find this of great value.
• http://slides.com/scottprue-2/deck#/1 is an ok slideshow on Angular->React but it is incomplete and doesn't touch on enough to be frank. There is a useful figure called "Pieces of a Frontend".
• We need to add our repo to this list when we're done: https://github.com/xgrommx/awesome-redux
• Q: Where the heck do API calls get made? A: https://github.com/reactjs/redux/issues/291

Also, it turns out that https://github.com/davezuko/react-redux-starter-kit is a great seeder project. It is just incredibly intimidating at first because one must know Redux.
