If you're a Node.js developer, or if you've aspired to learn Node.js but weren't sure which tools you could use to help you get started with the Node.js framework, you're in luck. WebMatrix 2 supports Node.js out of the box! Like all the other web languages WebMatrix 2 supports, you'll have full code completion and module-import support with Node.js applications. Obviously, since Windows Azure supports Node.js, WebMatrix 2 will provide one-click deployment functionality into Windows Azure for Node.js applications, just like it provides those deployment capabilities for PHP and ASP.NET, as well. Justin and Vishal walk through some of these great features today, and show you why WebMatrix 2 could be your best friend if you're a Node.js developer.

someone confirm that if It's work as html5 video. I have installed silverlight but not able to run it in firefox.
Fine little introduction on using node.js on Windows with Web Matrix 2. Also checkout Steven Sanderson's 3-part tutorial for building a sample node.js application: http://blog.stevensanderson.com/2012/07/09/node-js-development-with-webmatrix-2-and-express/
One thing I'm missing too much of webmatrix 2: I'm unable to comment multiple lines using a single keyboard shortcut. add this feature would be really awesome. As we r developers, so we know how beneficiary is the comment section of our code!
@rashidul: We use the same keyboard shortcut as Visual Studio for this, CTRL-K-C and CTRL-K-U. You can just select your text, and hit this shortcut. For more, check out:

hi having some trouble to follow along with the example.
My behaviour is identical until I add the missing t in http://..
Then I get an iisnode error (see pic below). As far as I see the error msg is "unexpected token <"
angle bracket.

I might be wrong here, but shouldn't the page be accessible from Chrome? When I try it there I get:

What is best next step to debug you think?
It looks like GitHub changed their API since we recorded this video
This week I'll post a working sample to our GitHub using the v3 API.
Working snippet using the v3 API is:
request('https://api.github.com/orgs/WindowsAzure/repos',
function (error, response, body)
{
if (error && error != '')
console.log(error);
//console.log(util.inspect(body, true, null, true));
res.render('about', { title: 'About Me. ', repos: JSON.parse(body) });
});
