The qualifications for learning is only the desire to learn. You already have the basics if you have played with JavaScript. In fact, I think the stumbling block for most developers new to node is that they've done so much synchronous programming that they fight the async programming nature of node.js. Had I learned or taught async programming in college, I would have had a much easier time. They really need to add async programming to CS curriculums.
REST isn't that important to learn or a prerequisite. You'll soon realize the term as most jargon in software development is more complicated than implementing it.
