I'm on a mission to learn Node.js, because all I want to do…

Use BitBus/EventChain and free yourself from mediocre languages ;)

Thanks. I'll look at those too. I have experience in html/css only. Nodejs was looking powerful to me. I'll check those out too.

I'm an average developer at best but having been at it for a few years I would highly recommend learning vanilla JavaScript before any framework like React or Node.

You'll get yourself into trouble if you skip this critical step, fundamentals first :D

FreeCodeCamp and javascript.info are great resources for getting started. FCC covers React/Node but at the end, after fundamentals ;)

Ofc if you've programmed before then this advice is less pertinent.

Thanks for the advice! I'll do that. Fundamentals are vital.
