+# Getting Started
+
+Let’s write our first actix web application!
+
+## Hello, world!
+
+Start by creating a new binary-based Cargo project and changing into the new directory:
+
+```bash
+cargo new hello-world --bin
+cd hello-world
+```
+
+Now, add `actix-web` as dependencies of your project by ensuring your `Cargo.toml`
+contains the following:
+
+```ini
+[dependencies]
+actix-web = "{{< actix-version "actix-web" >}}"
+```
+
+In order to implement a web server, we first need to create a request handler.
+
+A request handler is a function that accepts an `HttpRequest` instance as its only parameter
+and returns a type that can be converted into `HttpResponse`:
+
+Filename: `src/main.rs`
+
+```rust
+extern crate actix_web;
+use actix_web::{HttpRequest, Responder, App, server};
+
+fn index(req: _HttpRequest) -> Responder {
+    "Hello world!"
+}
+```
+
+Next, create an `Application` instance and register the request handler with
+the application's `resource` on a particular *HTTP method* and *path* and
+after that, the application instance can be used with `HttpServer` to listen
+for incoming connections. The server accepts a function that should return an
+`HttpHandler` instance.  For simplicity `server::new` could be used, this
+function is shortcut for `HttpServer::new`:
+
+```rust
+fn main() {
+    server::new(|| {
+        App::new()
+            .resource("/", |r| r.f(index))
+    })
+       .bind("127.0.0.1:8088").unwrap()
+       .run();
+}
+```
+
+That's it! Now, compile and run the program with `cargo run`.
+Head over to ``http://localhost:8088/`` to see the results.
+
+If you want you can have an automatic reloading server during development
+that recompiles on demand.  To see how this can be accomplished have a look
+at the [autoreload pattern](../autoreload/).
