Katakana IS your vocab. You get to learn new words as you learn it along the way. By the time you have completed it, you would have learned a couple of new words almost immediately.
By then, your next step should be Kanji.

He's definitely right. Make sure to learn both your hiragana and katakana first. And practice reading words written in hiragana and katakana. And use those words in sentences. My suggestion is if you are learning this by yourself, go out and buy a text book.
