Hi @minakiroollos,
ExpressJS is a web application framework for NodeJS. That’s what mainly makes the difference between Express JS and Node JS. The former provides various features that make web application development fast and easy, which otherwise takes more time using only the latter.

- Then once you have some solid knowledge of Node.js you can then move to Express as well
Here is a great JavaScript roadmap that I could suggest checking out:
Best,
Bobby
