If this is something you are intimately familiar with and want to create your own server, please do. For the rest of you who might want to focus on learning about React without having to worry about the server-side aspects, we have written simple servers in a number of languages - JavaScript (using Node.js), Python, Haskell, Ruby, Go, and PHP. These are all available on GitHub.

This will serve purely as an API endpoint which we'll use for getting and saving data. In order to make this as easy as possible, we've created a simple server in a number of scripting languages that does exactly what we need it to do. **You can [view the source](https:\/\/github.com\/reactjs\/react-tutorial\/) or [download a zip file](https:\/\/github.com\/reactjs\/react-tutorial\/archive\/master.zip) containing everything needed to get started.**\n \n-To get started using the tutorial, just start editing `public\/index.html`.\n+For sake of simplicity, the server we will run uses a `JSON` file as a database. You would not run this in production but it makes it easy to simulate what you might do when consuming an API. Once you start the server, it will support our API endpoint and it will also serve the static pages we need.\n \n ### Getting started\n \n-For this tutorial, we'll use prebuilt JavaScript files on a CDN.
