Which part of web development? I know it sucks that I'm answering your question with a question, but learning the stack is crucial in any field on dev work. Example: web dev can be frontend (what you see a lot with React : UIs, UX), or backend (what you see with Python or Go : APIs, middleware, databases).

But to answer simply yes waits for rock to be thrown, web-dev is something you can get started with right this second. Just download react js (frontend). Get started with either Python/Go (maybe Python will be faster to learn), and then just start throwing things together.
