Summary/objective:
---------------------------
This is a simple Node.js introduction for those who have not written 
their helloworld in Node yet, or for those who are still a bit confused 
and want to have the big picture. We'll explain the basics, the main 
pieces: JavaScript runtime, Node API, npm, what Node is useful for, pros 
& cons of Node. We'll show very simple examples of applications and 
modules written for Node, and participants can copypasta and run the 
code on their computers as we go. Finally, we will provide useful 
pointers to learn more, and encourage you to get started by contributing 
to some of W3C's simplest Node projects on GitHub.
