+Hello World (callback)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Print ``Hello World`` every two seconds, using a callback::

+    def print_and_repeat(loop):
+        print('Hello World')
+        loop.call_later(2, print_and_repeat, loop)

+    print_and_repeat(loop)
+    loop.run_forever()

+
+Hello World (callback)
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Print ``Hello World`` every two seconds, using a coroutine::
+
+    import asyncio
+
+    @asyncio.coroutine

+        while True:
+            print('Hello World')
