I'm needing advice on the jQuery courses

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction with jQuery. I have no experience at all, and am an absolute beginner, but I can't figure out if these courses are designed to work with one another, or one is just more indepth than the other.

Has anyone begun learning jQuery from Treehouse, and Treehouse only? Which courses did you do in which order?

Am I better off taking the Introduction to jQuery course and then moving onto the jQuery Basic course? Or the other way around?

Sorry if this isn't okay to ask here. Am a bit stuck as it is quite foreign!

Start with HTML and CSS, then plain Javascript before going into jQuery. Tbh, jQuery isn't being used as much these days. You could reasonably skip it and go for React.

Yeah, I'm good with HTML and CSS – I need to have understanding of jQuery as it's frequently used at work. Concerned about going straight into plain JS as I'm not sure how much of an understanding I'd need before jumping into jQuery... if that makes sense.
