- How difficult is it for a PHP programmer?

www.nodebeginner.ru/ difficult if you haven't designed thick clients in JS. In general, on a node, you can get an abyss of leaks and break your head when designing applications on events, after ordinary PLs. At first glance, it is not so difficult, but the approach is completely different.

I also want to caution by saying that many sources become outdated rapidly because their authors do not follow the evolution of Node - although it would seem that reading blog.nodejs.org is enough for such tracking .
For example, at http://nodeguide.ru/doc/felix/beginner/ you can read:

First of all, in order to use Node.js, you need to have a working *nix-like operating system at hand. Linux or OSX is recommended, but FreeBSD or cygwin (under windows) may also work. Work is currently underway to port Node.js to windows, but so far they have not been brought to a stable state.

Porting Node.js to Windows was successful in November 2011, now May 2012 - so this paragraph is half a year out of date.

Always, even after learning some information from sources in Russian, you should not be lazy to climb and check the contents of the manual http://nodejs.org/docs/latest/api/ - it is in English, but only there you can see the full and last description Node.js API (somewhere even with illustrative examples).

It's hard... you'll get used to asynchrony... the main thing is not to give up and go through the incubation period - when the basic tricks become clear...

After php, you will have to forget everything and look from a completely different perspective. Read the documentation from the off site and understand how the modules work, and of course write the code.
