Javscript React.js and Jquery what to teach a beginner, in which direction to move?

Question

JavaScript

Hello! I'm studying front-end development, I recently started to study javascript while creating educational projects in pure html/css. A couple of questions arose. Everyone around is talking about the JQuery and React libraries, can you tell me what each of them is for, which one should I start learning first? So far, I'm very lost in all this variety of the Javascript language and libraries, just while I'm learning the javascript.learn tutorial. and I want to ask you to indicate a further approximate vector of development, what to learn and, if possible, where to learn.

Answer 1

jQuery is a library of functions that was originally designed to bridge differences between browsers (mostly DOM-API differences). This is a great library that is still relevant to this day (despite the hipster haters who, as a rule, simply do not know how to cook it).
React is a framework for building user interfaces and web applications. This is another way to bring the MVC philosophy into the web, where the visual presentation is separated from the logic.
Everything needs to be taught. But you need to start with the basics of the language itself, i.e. with JavaScript.

Answer 2

Everyone is talking about libraries

Drumroll....
What? What year is it now?
Learn native js, then get into frameworks.
