more complex.

Let's call these functions, where requests are routed to,
<em>request handlers</em>. And let's tackle those next, because
unless we have these in place there isn't much sense in doing
anything with the router for now.

Hi there! Sorry to interrupt you.
</p>
<p>
My name is Manuel Kiessling, I'm the author of this book.
</p>
<p>
If you have read that far, I guess I may assume that you like
the book. I'm pretty sure you also like the fact that it's free,
which is totally fine, and you can continue reading it for free,
which also is totally fine.
</p>
<p>
However, I would like you to consider buying the eBook version
of the book. It's a beautifully crafted package including a PDF,
an ePub, and a MOBI file, which means you can read it on all
kinds of eReaders out there like the Amazon Kindle, the Nook, or
the Sony Reader.
</p>
<p>
But the best thing about it is that it comes bundled with another
great Node.js book: <em>"Hands-on Node.js"</em> by Pedro Teixeira. It's a
complete reference that explains all the Node.js modules in great
detail - it's perfect to dig deeper once you finished <em>The Node
Beginner Book</em>.
</p>
<p>
Both books together would cost a total of $10.98, but we are offering
it as a bundle for only <strong>$7.99</strong>.
You can download it immediately, it's
completely DRM-free, and you will receive any future updates for
both books for free.
</p>
<p>
So, here are the two choices you have right now:
