JavaScript is a programming language and it’s used to give functionality to web pages.
React is a JavaScript library for building fast and interactive user interfaces and it’s currently the most popular JavaScript library in the world for building user interfaces.
Your front end development journey should start with HTML and then be followed by CSS. If you spend 3 to 5 hours per day every day studying and coding each one of them, within 4 to 6 weeks you’ll attain a reasonable level of understanding about HTML and CSS.
Once you learn HTML and CSS then you need to learn JavaScript. Learning, understanding and being able to apply the fundamentals of JavaScript should take you approximately six weeks.
