I think it's actually better to learn a new programming language with a concrete framework, application or goal in mind. Just learning the language for the sake of the language is not a great motivator in my book, and not terribly educational either. So yeah, go for it! Set yourself a Node.js goal. Such as a command line program or simple web server that spits out Hello World or something. You will learn the ins and outs of JavaScript as you go
