What you should know and what you don't need to know
qooxdoo is completely based on object-oriented JavaScript. So, what you should know is just JavaScript. If you know the object-oriented concepts and have worked with any object-oriented language such as Java, it will really help you to understand the qooxdoo programming concepts pretty quickly. Even if you haven't worked with any object-oriented language, it is okay. You can learn the object-oriented concepts with qooxdoo.
Even though it is a web development application, you don't need to know HTML, DOM, CSS, and so on. qooxdoo generates the HTML at runtime from the JavaScript code that you have written.
