h2. Hello World at Command Prompt

Open up a text file and enter:

@// Call the console.log function.@
@console.log("Hello World");@

Save file as test1.js  and then at the command prompt, execute:
@node test1.js@

Obviously, that produces:
@Hello World@


h2. Hello World HTTP Server

code.
// Load the http module to create an http server.
var http = require('http');

// Configure our HTTP server to respond with Hello World to all requests.
var server = http.createServer(function (request, response) {
  response.writeHead(200, {"Content-Type": "text/plain"});
  response.end("Hello World\n");
});

// Listen on port 8000, IP defaults to 127.0.0.1
server.listen(8000);

// Put a friendly message on the terminal
console.log("Server running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/");@
