+────────────────
+ BABEL SETUP
+ Exercise 1 of 12
+
+
+# Introduction
+
+This is the first exercise to learn ES6 using babel.
+
+Even with the power of the latest version of node.js, it isn't possible right now to use all of the features from ES6.
+
+To enable a lot of the new grammar, there is an additional package called babel which you can install using:
+
+    $ npm install babel-cli -g
+
+Once you have done that, two new commands become available: babel and babel-node.
+Let's starting by using babel-node.
+
+Please create a program.js file that contains:
+
+    console.log(`Hello Babel`);
+
+Once you saved, it you will be able to run the program like this:
+
+    $ babel-node program.js
+
+Try to run it and make sure it shows Hello Babel.
+
+# Exercise
+
+Create a javascript program that takes the the first command-line argument and
+outputs it right after a "Hello " String using ES6 template strings.
+
+# Hints
+
+It is possible to pass command-line arguments to a babel program like this:
+
+    babel-node my-program.js an-argument
+
+To access the arguments you can use the process.argv array.
+
+Important! The process.argv array contains not just the arguments but also the runtime (first variable) and the script file loaded (second variable)!
+This means the first argument is stored at the third position:
+
+    process.argv[2]
+
+ES6 template strings are a new way to declare strings using the ``` character. In template strings you can access local variables like this:
+
+    var a = 1;
+    console.log(`${a}`);
+
+Read more about template strings here: [http://updates.html5rocks.com/2015/01/ES6-Template-Strings](http://updates.html5rocks.com/2015/01/ES6-Template-Strings)
+
+ */
+
+'use strict';
+
+console.log(`Hello ${process.argv[2]}`);
+
+/*
+
+Here's the official solution in case you want to compare notes:
+
+────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+    var arg = process.argv[2];
+    console.log(`Hello ${arg}`);
