NodeJS and client-side Javascript (jQuery, etc) confusion.

Hey all,After learning Node and server-side logic for the past two months, I think I have gotten myself into a confusing loop about where tools like jQuery gets used and fits into an application when the majority of the things can be done with Node.When you start out learning you (In this case, myself) learn the front end technologies: Javascript, jQuery, etc and you build applications which rely HEAVILY on those things where when I click a button, some animation happens and then the application runs X function. Now, I am doing that all by Post and Get requests, databases, etc and have not really needed a jQuery file. I am utterly lost on how an application uses all these different elements when so much can be accomplished with models and virtuals, mongoose, routing and ejs, etc.Can someone help a very confused new developer or provide a resource which has a great explanation about where and how the ecosystem fits together? Honestly, if there is a really simple app or tutorial which shows the interaction between everything front-end and node, that would prove immensely useful (We all love to tinker and reverse-engineer so I feel like I am in good company here).
