What is Node.js and how is it related to YUI3?

Question

I am a web developer writing a lot of code in jquery.

I'm trying to learn YUI3, and I notice the node 'module there. I also heard about something called Node.js. Are the YUI3 node and Node.js modules connected?

The official Node.js website does not seem to have much information.

What is Node.js? Does this server side mean we can use Node.js, and PHP instead? What applications are developed using Node.js?

Should a web developer invest time in learning about this?
