Of course you can do that, as much as you can learn any other language. If you know JavaScript, you are already half way there. I recommend using Express as a server. If you look up how to set up an express server and app (or even a rest api) you should find good resources.

@heyheni I wouldn't use Parse. It adds a whole lot of extra stuff that you really don't need if all you want is to create an api.

With Node I usually suggest to dive right in. Think of an *intermediate level* project that will drive you and code it while making use of popular mom packages.
A fun project to build is a back-end for instant messaging app. This will have you working with express for REST API implementation, socket.io for end2end websocket communication, RethinkDb for real-time database , etc etc.
I'm iOS developer ,need to learn node js to back end services can I do that ,any one suggest good tutorials
