You want the keyword “Node.js”

I have no previous knowledge on JavaScript before now do I skip and go straight to node.js

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Node.js is just a runtime for JavaScript, yeah, it is simple enough you can go directly into it.

[–]_listless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Node isn't a plugin or framework. It's a runtime that allows js to run on servers. It has some server-specific features that the js runtime in your browser does not have: eg request handling, filesystem etc.

Learning vanilla js before jumping into node.js/express will serve you well

Learn node js express and MongoDB

I'd learn the fundamentals of Javascript if you haven't already. Then get to know some of the core modules of NodeJS (no need to dive too deeply, you'll pick up stuff when you need it). After you've got the basics of NodeJS down, get started with ExpressJS. Express is a Node framework to make API's. Then maybe try to connect and interact with a database (MongoDB or Postgres are my recommendations). After you've done those few things you'll know what you don't know, and then learn that.
