I want to study a course about React, but I don't know couple of things, like:
What is the difference between React, ReactJS, and React Native ?
Well, if there is a big difference, What is the best one of them to study ?
I am really looking forward to study it, so if you got any information on the best way to start learning this course, I would appreciate it.
Thank you so much.
React and React.Js is one and the same.
React / ReactJs
ReactJS is an open-source JavaScript library used to build the user interface for Web Applications. It is responsible only for the view layer of the application. It provides developers to compose complex UIs from a small and isolated piece of code called "components." ReactJS made of two parts first is components, that are the pieces that contain HTML code and what you want to see in the user interface, and the second one is HTML document where all your components will be rendered.
React Native
React Native is an open-source JavaScript framework used for developing a mobile application for iOS Android, and Windows. It uses only JavaScript to build a cross-platform mobile app. React Native is same as React, but it uses native components instead of using web components as building blocks. It targets mobile platforms rather than the browser.

React and React native both solves different kind of problem. React is common library between react and react-native which provides supports for hooks and generate virtual dom.
react-dom will render content on web using virtual dom created by react.
However on other side react-native will create bundle for android and iOS.
Main differences between Reactjs and React Native
When it comes to a web platform, Reactjs can be defined as a base
derivative of React DOM, while React Native acts as a base
derivative by keeping workflow and syntax the same alongside
altering components.
React is a JavaScript library that can help your developers in
building a highly responsive UI Layer and React Native on the other
hand is a complete framework to develop cross-platform applications.
Virtual DOM is used to extract browser code in React; native APIs
help in rendering components in mobile in React Native.
In React Native, UI is rendered with the help of JSX but the
applications curated with Reactjs extract HTML in UI.
For styling in Reactjs, CSS is used, and React Native platform
requires a stylesheet for styling.
Using CSS, you can carry out animation in Reactjs; for animation in
React Native, you need to use an animated API.

I am currently studying RN by myself, without prior knowledge in React. A lot of things seem to exist in both such as Redux and hooks. Many of the resources I find refer to React in the title (e.g "Redux Crash Course With React").
My question is: where does the line cross between React and React Native? Would I be fine studyig form these resources that refer to React, or would that just confuse me?
I'm trying to understand a go to approach to understand which resource I'd be fine with and which would be irrelevant.
React Native contains React library to use it as front-end library.
Most of usages of React are the same for React-Native. And it is same for Redux too.
React-Native must have other libraries to build applications that can run on both of Android and iOS.
Also it has middleware libraries that allow us to use most of native libraries' functionalities. As an example you can check Alert directory out. It is used for to show native Android alert dialogs.
Good luck..
Both react and react native use javascript to create the user interface we need but the difference is in the rendering, style and bundling and you should know that react native is a framework itself but react.js is a library. the main difference:
---React-Native doesn’t use HTML to render the app, but provides alternative components that work in a similar way. Those React-Native components map the actual real native iOS or Android UI components that get rendered on the app.
---With React-Native, you’ll have to learn a completely new way to animate the different components of your app with Javascript.
--- navigating between pages are totally different!!!
so we conclude that it's better to study references based on RN not react.js . but some functionalities such as redux or hooks or a lot of it's components are exactly the same and you can study react.js references for them. only the 3 differents that i said above are important.
I have a Hybrid Android App which uses Android WebView for rendering the Web Pages.
I have Wiziwig Editor (which is written in HTML, javascript, and css). I am using Webkit Interface for communicating between Java and JavaScript
I want to integrate React Native in my Editor. Previously I was using JavaScript models and JS functions for implementing various functionalities in the WiziWig Editor and manipulating DOM.
But its UX is not fast and appealing. Moreover, I had integrated the Twitter BloodHound Engine in Editor. Whenever the user types in the Editor the typeahead list of BloodHound Engine lags.
I am thinking of using the React Native in my Editor. With React Native I can also use the Android Native components for showing messages and other things instead of the JavaScript Models. There are also other possibilities of improvement with React Native.
I built a demo app in which, I am able to communicate between Java and Javascript code using React Native Modules.
Question
My WiziWig has so much Code already written in HTML, CSS, and plain JavaScript. In order to convert my code to React Native and using Native components for UI, it would take a lot of time.
Is there a way in which I can use my old code base in React Native and then I slowly move the code to the React Native using JSX and components.
I have seen There is Render function in React Native for Rendering the html content. But I have to write the plain JS code in JSX. Is there a fast way to do it. Because my file has already 4495 lines of Code.
Thanks in advance
I'm used to writing React Native code, but I'm currently working on a React App, so I was wondering is there is something like React Native Elements but for React as such.

If I understand your question correctly, there are many UI component libraries suitable for React App development. A few that come to mind are:
Material-UI
React components that implement Google's Material Design.
https://material-ui.com/
React-Bootstrap
The most popular front-end framework, rebuilt for React.
https://element.eleme.io/#/en-US
Element-React
Element was initially written in Vue, which has many elegant UI components, but we also love React, so we forked it for the React community.

From what I understand, React Native essentially allows you extend the functionality of React components to include native UI elements for mobile platforms. Angular 1.5 introduced components as more or less simple, best-practice directives.
I have a web application already written in AngularJS, and it would be amazing to be able to produce native mobile applications using React Native without having to re-write the front-end of the application completely in React.
Is it possible to use React Native to add native UI elements to Angular components instead of React components? I apologize if this is a silly question.
As of May 2016, you can now use angular and react native together. Check out Angular2 + React native
Whether the same REACT codebase can be shared across mobile web and mobile app?
Unfortunately, you cannot. React Native uses a bunch of pre-built components that are really just native iOS components wrapped in Javascript. For example, you could use <div> or <span> in React but in React Native you'd have to use <Text>, images can only be displayed in <Image> components, etc. There are also stricter limitations on what styles, data, or nested components each React Native component can have.
On a side note, trying to do this goes against the React philosphy -> 'Learn once, write anywhere'. You can try taking a look at Ionic if you're interested in something that ports easily over to mobile apps.
