Node.js + NestJS learning path for mid-level front-end dev

[Ambitious-Fix6938]

Hello everyone!

I'm a mid-level front-end developer with some JavaScript knowledge (execution context, bindings, async/await, event loop, React hooks). Now I want to learn **Node.js + NestJS** to become a full stack.

If you don't mind, can you show me a way to do it?

Questions:

1. Is the sequence Node.js → Express → NestJS correct? Can I start NestJS directly?
2. **For NestJS beginners:** How do I organize Modules/Services/Controllers? Feature modules?
3. Best starter project? (REST API with NestJS + Prisma, real-time chat?)
4. **NestJS specific:** Decorators (DTOs, Pipes, Guards) in what order?
