I want to make it clear that I have no prior experience programming, I only have experience in HTML and SQL, everyone seems to be like "Look like the documentation" well yes that sure helps me! sniff *sniff* is there a book that could be recommendable or a series of webcasts?

Based on these two points, first you should learn programming. You want to learn NodeJS+Express+MongoDB which 3 of them are completely different things from what you already know. Write your scripts to a file named try. js and execute them with node try.
Before diving into Express. js, you will want to learn how to write a basic HTTP server in plain Node. js. Since Express is just an extension on top of the native built-in HTTP server, knowing how to handle a request/response cycle will make jumping into basic Express applications very simple.
No you can't. because you should understand concepts of Java to best use the Swing package. Similarly, you should understand the concepts of Javascript and Node. js to best understand Express Framework.
For a beginner who wants to get started in the tech industry, learning Node. js and getting relevant certifications can be an effective way to get your career launched. Use the advice above to start your journey, and soon you'll be proficient in this popular (and profitable) runtime environment.
Welcome to the wonderful world of node.js!
I myself have also just started learning Node.js and often asked myself "what is express?" "Why use express over node?" etc.
Express is a fantastic web framework so you can develop robust applications with having a lot of the hard stuff done for you :)
I highly recommend reading through his examples to have a feel how it all gets put together: https://github.com/visionmedia/express/tree/master/examples
I found this screen cast very helpful in myself learning the basics: http://vimeo.com/38136668
Proloser goes through explaining how to start a new express application, how to connect it to mongodb and explains how and why everything works :) He's created it for new noders.
Us noders hang out on irc.freenode.net in the #node.js channel. Come and ask any questions you have and we will help set you on track :)
