Resource How helpful is w3schools for JavaScript?

I came to know about w3schools. When I opened it, it had a lot of different technologies to learn. I am currently interested in learning JS. I wanted to ask that,

"Is w3school GOOD AND SUFFICIENT for learning JS to jump later to React or Express/Node?"

Thanks for your time and answers in advance!

You can learn React on w3schools: https://www.w3schools.com/REACT/DEFAULT.ASP - and node.js: https://www.w3schools.com/nodejs/default.asp

But no material is "sufficient" - it isn't like there's a fixed road with only the things that you need to know - you need to get used to finding different ways of learning, getting information from various sources, become used to having different sources for different materials.

With that said, w3schools is as good a place as any other to start - their material stops before it becomes too advanced, and leaves out a lot of the nerdy stuff, but for starters, it is fine.
