CoffeeScript removes the rather verbose function statement, and replaces it with an thin arrow: ->. Functions can be one liners, or indented on multiple lines.

Heroku is an incredibly awesome web host that manages all the servers and scaling for you, letting you get on with the exciting stuff (building awesome JavaScript applications). You'll need an account with Heroku for this tutorial to work, but the great news is that their basic plan is completely free. While traditionally a Ruby host, Heroku have recently released their Cedar stack which includes Node support.
