I also recommend learning the differences between function components (the prerequisite of hooks) and class-based components. This way you can gain understanding into why one would want to use one over the other which will ultimately serve you better than simply learning something just for the sake of learning it. "How Are Function Components Different from Classes?" [1] by Dan Abramov is a great start.
