So far we know how to install node modules by npm and how to use them in our application. Today we will learn how to create our first node module. 
 
Concept of Node Modules
Node modules are simply javascript files containing some functions created for some specific tasks. Lets see an example
 

var http = require('http'),
    util = require('util');
 
var server = http.createServer(function (req,res){
    util.log('Hello world');
    res.end('Hello world');
});
 
server.listen(8080);
util.log('Server listenning at localhost:8080');

Here we have used the http module that has some functions like createServer(), listen() etc. These functions are used for some specific purpose. The util module is used for just showing message with the current timestamp.
