relation between JS and node.js

[erfan shaigani]

Hi , I am not familiar with javascript at all , I am going to learn node.js 

(I have a good background in python , c )

now , I don't know where to start, should I master js then go for nodejs , or a basic learning of js is adequate for nodejs or...

I will appreciate if you suggest useful sources and websites to learn .

Thanks in advance

I would recommend getting very familiar with Javascript syntax and data structures before moving on to Node.js, but that's just my recommended approach. Some other people might recommend learning Javascript while using Node.js as a platform to learn it and I wouldn't say it's an invalid approach.
