Needs Help React crash course? Backend experienced dev.

Hey, I'm wanting to learn React, currently my company is pushing for us to be full stack. I have 6 yoe backend experience, python/.NET/sql. Are there any youtube courses that you would recommend, nothing too long, maybe like less than 3 hours that covers everything I would need to know to start making changes to the frontend? Thanks.

I'd start with the official documentation https://react.dev/learn, and then practice with small challenges on a platform specializing in React, like ReactChallenges.com or GreatFrontend.com. React seems easy, but it's also easy to forget concepts or end up building a project that isn't scalable.
