I am new to chef and not able to get a hang of the difference between node vs @node usage in template files. I am not able to find a good documentation around this particular thing. Any explanation or reference to good documentation would be much helpful and appreciated.

Thanks

No difference, mostly. @node is a normal template variable that we always pass in for you, while node is a template helper method that returns the variable. We recommend not making heavy use of either (manually pass in the data you want to use via the variables property) but when you must, use nodes for similarity with recipe code.
