prerequisites for angular js and node js

I will have to start working with angular js and node js pretty soon. I do not know much about javascript, what would be a good way to start. Can I just pick a book an each or do i need to learn something about javascript before getting into these technologies.

Perhaps the most important question would be what languages you do know / use, because if you know nothing (Jon Snow) you should perhaps look for some after hours schooling. If you are proficient in other languages, learning a syntax is quite easy compared to learning how to program.

For a decent start at javascript, I found Javascript: The Definitive Guide from O'Reilly a very good book to own, and now after 3 years of fulltime working in javascript i still open it from time to time.

For Node.js, I learnt most things at nodeschool.io. But I should have to add that I don't work with node.js, nor have I done anything worth mentioning in it. I would imagine that O'Reilly offers some good books on the subject.

For Angular I would first of recommend the free course on codeschool as a starting point. I own AngularJS: Up and Running from O'Reilly, and can wholeheartedly recommend it, as it reads easy and is still to the point.
A friend of mine swears by the ng-book. This is a very complete book, but I don't like the markup, which has put me off of the book more than it should have :)

Furthermore, angular hosts a good developers guide and API. And per usual, for urgent questions open up an IRC application, or for somewhat less urgent matter post on stackoverflow.
