How I can use NodeJS, is it like Javascript that we use with php, in our website or some other things involved ?

Need a basic concept about node.js

node.js is server-side JavaScript. A node.js program is a standalone program that, if you want, could be run as a server.

You don't point Apache at it or anything. A node.js server receives requests directly.

That said, you don't have to only do servers with node.js; there are all kinds of utilities out there that make use of node:

- Grunt: The JS Task Runner
- voxel.js: lets you build voxel-based games that run in your browser, assembled on the server
