Anyone else more con-foo-sed after watching (THIS)?!

so many concepts used here have never even been mentioned up until this point in the full stack javascript track... so you are wanting us to go learn to use javascript in node.js before continuing?

You have a point. This workshop mentions constructors, prototyping and several other concepts not remotely touched in the previous lessons. This even comes before the OOJS course.
