No, of course not. But your original code indicated that you want to read a
file and then serve it. That's what Jose's code does - it reads the file
(in one line of code), and then creates a server that serves the contents
of that file each time a new request is made.

No, the server is created once, and the (anonymous) function that was
passed to createServer is called each time a request is handled. That
function sends back the contents of the file that was read earlier.

It might be a good idea for you to work through one or two tutorials on
Node, so that you get a clearer picture of how it all works. You'll find
pointers to several of those in the archives of this list. Those at
http://www.nodetuts.com/ and http://www.nodebeginner.org/ seem to be fairly
frequently referenced here.
