Example 7-8 & 7-12

SInce we removed the '/' route from the router, if we open up http://localhost:8000/ in browser, we can only see the 404 error instead of the expected hello message.

The correct url is http://localhost:8000/hello/{fname}/{lname}

Compiling from ES5 to ES6

After installing babel the user have to add a .babelrc file to the project with contents:

{
"presets": ["es2015"]
}

before trying to transpiler to ES5, otherwise it will returned the same output in ES6.

Maybe it would be useful to add a note about this so the reader won't have to check out the babel documentation to figure out why is not transpiling.
