+# "Hello world" example
+
+This example shows a minimal setup for an application using `slweb`. When
+executed, it starts a HTTP/1.1 server on port `8080` and returns an example
+website reading "Hello from slweb!" when either `/` or `/index.html` are
+accessed by clients.
+
+## How to build
+
+If using `make(1)`, just run `make` from this directory.
+
+If using CMake, examples are built by default when configuring the project
+from [the top-level `CMakeLists.txt`](../../CMakeLists.txt).
+
+## How to run
+
+Run the executable without any command line arguments.
