This is fired internally when your application starts up and can be used to
trigger events that only occur once during startup.

"""Simple TCP Echo Server
This example shows how you can create a simple TCP Server (an Echo Service)
utilizing the builtin Socket Components that the circuits library ships with.

"""Read Event Handler
This is fired by the underlying Socket Component when there has been
new data read from the connected client.
..note :: By simply returning, client/server socket components listen
to ValueChagned events (feedback) to determine if a handler
returned some data and fires a subsequent Write event with
the value returned.

Hello Web¶

Controller(s) expose implicitly methods as request handlers.
Request Handlers can still be customized by using the ``@expose``
decorator. For example exposing as a different path.
