+/// !example
+/// ## Running a simple function in a thread
+/// 
+/// This first example demonstrates how you can run an expensive computation in
+/// a worker thread and obtain its result.
+/// 
+/// First, we define the function that we want to execute in the worker thread:
+function fibo(n) {
+	return n > 1 ? fibo(n - 1) + fibo(n - 2) : 1;
+}
+/// Then, we create a worker thread with the `Threads.create` call:
+var Threads = require('webworker-threads');
+var t = Threads.create();
+/// In the next step, we load the function into the worker thead.
+/// We get the function's source with `fibo.toString()` and we 
+/// call `t.eval(source)` to evalutate it into the worker thread's context:
+t.eval(fibo);
+/// Now, we are ready to call this function.
+/// We use the `t.eval` function again, with two arguments this time.  
+/// The first argument is the expression to evaluate.  
+/// The second one is a callback that receives the result (or an error if there was one).
+t.eval('fibo(10)', function(err, result) {
+	if (err) throw err; // something abnormal
+	// print the result
+	console.log('fibo(10)=' + result);
+	// chain with next step
+	step2();
+});
+/// Let's call it again:
+function step2() {
+	t.eval('fibo(20)', function(err, result) {
+		if (err) throw err;
+		console.log('fibo(20)=' + result);
+		step3();
+	});
+}
+/// If the expression is invalid, we get an error through the callback
+function step3() {
+	// 'x' is not defined
+	t.eval('fibo(x)', function(err, result) {
+		console.log('error=' + err);
+		step4();
+	});
+}
+/// But the thread is still alive and ready to accept more calls:
+function step4() {
+	t.eval('fibo(15)', function(err, result) {
+		console.log('fibo(15)=' + result);
+		step5();
+	});
+}
+/// Once we are done, we destroy the thread:
+function step5() {
+	t.destroy();
+}
+/// ### Output
+/// 
+/// ```
+/// fibo(10)=89
+/// fibo(20)=10946
+/// error=Error: ReferenceError: x is not defined
+/// fibo(15)=987
+/// ```
