I'm probably atypical in that I came to the world of web engineering from the depths of low-level C++ systems development. But I can honestly say that once you've written a perf- and security- conscious file system driver, pretty much nothing in the web world will be confusing or surprising (except maybe design/UX).
Of course, this is terrible advice to take at face value and I won't suggest that you should go become a C++ master for great good.
But I stand by my theory that it really doesn't matter how you approach the learning. If you work on challenging problems in any area of computing, you'll realize that most of this stuff is just different people solving the same basic problems with different terminology.
