a couple of kids from my architecture class last semester were talking about doing the server-client networking project (for a senior level class) in javascript.

I got a kick out of that one.

its a platform built on JS. Is it done purely with JS? (referring to the platform itself.....was it built ONLY using js?) Like if I didn't have node.js, could I just start writing some js and make a server and client?

It's built on JS and C++. The execution engine and bindings to the lower level OS are C++. The code you write that gets executed by the runtime is pure JS.

that is pretty neat, never knew about node.js before.

And I can guarantee that the students in my class didn't know about it either.

So I still rest my case :p

(I believe what actually happened is they confused "java" for "javascript")

it's a port of google's javascript engine v8 to standalone mode with extra hooks for the low level things, such as filesystem access, network sockets etc

also parts of node.js distribution are indeed written in javascript itself, to wrap around the ugly low level stuff; also packages for it are in js, can be easily installed with npm https://npmjs.org/

With just a month of training in only HTML and CSS, you won't find many jobs that you'll be able to do.

There is very, very much work for programmers everywhere, but that's mostly for people who have either a degree in programming (bachelor or master), or enough experience to demonstrate that they can code properly. Furthermore, web developers usually need extensive knowledge of at least HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP and preferably Python and C#.
