The main thing is to learn any programming to know how it works on the basic level.

Node is a very popular language nowadays. We can build web applications, Rest APIS, and a lot of other things but before getting started you should know the basics of JavaScript and NPM modules.

When I started learning nodejs, I had a lot of difficulties in understanding it but once I got comfortable with the basics I started enjoying it. A couple of things which helped me learning nodejs -

  • I followed some youtube tutorials which gave me an introduction about basic node.js and its basic syntax

  • After understanding basics, I started learning from other websites which helped me learn the main features of node.js https://www.tutorialspoint.com/nodejs/index.htm
  • The last and most important thing is to go through the official documents. But I would suggest first going through the above resources since the official docs are not easy to understand at first.

Now you have the basic knowledge about node.js and you can go and search for some advanced topics like how to make a production-level app using Express.js or start learning MERN or MEAN stack development.

The last and main thing is practice. You should learn from various tutorials and make something from scratch it will help a lot (like make a User Registration app). I am sharing some link below to make apps using Express.js

Hope it helps :)
