5. node.js is a server-side implementation of the
GoogleV8 JavaScript engine
In broad terms, it does the same job as PHP but

15. Push something into a redis via PHP, and
have node.js listen and react

16. PHP and node.js connect to a redis channel
PHP publish something to the channel
node.js gets the message and reacts
Really good for reacting to events, but
requires node.js to be listening

someone deals with it

18. Allows two-way communication from the
browser to the server
