On the path to become a MEAN Developer - 2 (The N)

Part 1 is here: On the path to become a MEAN Developer - 1

Lets start by creating our very own node server.
Check if npm and node is properly installed on your machine

Go to the location of your choice.
Create a directory myapp. Goto myapp.

Type npm init. It will give you certain options. Default options are good to go.

A package.json file will be created.

Create a server.js file.

var http=require("http"),
port=1234;

var server=http.createServer(function(request, response){
response.writeHeader(200, {"Content-Type" : "text/plain"});
response.write("Hello world!");
response.end();
});

server.listen(port);
console.log("server is listening on http://localhost:" + port);

To run the server,

>> node server.js
server is listening on http://localhost:1234

Hit http://localhost:1234 from your web browser, you should get Hello World as the output.
