You don't have to know how to use any JavaScript to get started with Laravel. JS is still important to learn, however, so don't shrug it off.

Also, to clear up some confusion, Angular, Node, and jQuery are three completely different projects with completely different goals. jQuery makes doing common tasks in JavaScript easier while not having to worry about browser support. Angular is a JavaScript framework for writing JavaScript-intensive applications. And Node is a framework that moves JavaScript off the web and onto your computer, allowing it do do things that only languages like Ruby or Python could before.

Laravel does use a lot of object-oriented PHP, though. But don't sweat it; Hampton's got a course just for you.
