PHP vs Node.js

Hi,

I know PHP, I want to learn node.js, but in the video and books that I view and read, the scope is totally different, the node.js never work directly in an html page. In PHP, I work with html, javascript, jQuery, AJAX, JSON in the same document. In node.js, I see that always talk about terminal console and json. I don't know if spend time trying to learn this, because I always work with websites. What do you think?

Thank you for help me to decide!
Have a read of my article:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/articles/18420/What-is-Node-js-Why-is-it-Important-What-are-the-Benefits.html

I want to clarify that Node.js does render web pages exactly as PHP would (for all intents and purposes).   Where PHP requires a web server such as Apache or IIS, Node.js is the whole package.
You're welcome.
