 # ReactCasts
-Source code for ReactCasts
+
+This repository has code and outlines for [ReactCasts](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZkjWyyLvzWeoVWEpRemrDQ). All content (code samples, outlines, etc...) is organized into folders, starting with [`episode1`](https://github.com/cassiozen/ReactCasts/tree/master/episode1) and going from there.
+
+# Request A Screencast
+
+I have some ideas for topics to cover, but if you want to see some topics covered in a future screencast, I'd like to hear from you.
+
+Please [submit an issue](https://github.com/cassiozen/ReactCasts/issues) with the `request a screencast` label and make sure to include a good description on what you want to see!
+
+You can also participate by adding your reactions and contributing to the discussion on suggested topics: https://github.com/cassiozen/ReactCasts/issues/labels/request%20a%20screencast.
+
+# Issues With Code, Documentation, etc...
+
+If you see any problems with code, documentation, or anything else in this repository, please [submit an issue](https://github.com/cassiozen/ReactCasts/issues) with the `bug` label and I'll fix it as soon as I can. Pull requests are also welcome.
+
+# Build, Test and Run Instructions
+
+All the folders that start with `episode` (such as [`episode1`](https://github.com/cassiozen/ReactCasts/tree/master/episode1) contain the outline and code samples for that episode, and all code samples can be built and run.
+
+Unless otherwise specified in the `README.md` in the episode folder, the commands for building, testing and running simply use the `npm` tool.
+
+- install packages: `npm install`
+- run: `npm start`

+# Acknowledgements
+
+The ReactCasts series is heavily inspired by the original [Rails Casts](http://railscasts.com) series by Ryan Bates. He is the pioneer that given shape to the format.
+
+The format of this repository, including the usage of issues for requesting screencast was created by Aaron Schlesinger for the fantastic [Go in 5 minutes](https://github.com/arschles/go-in-5-minutes) screencast series.
