What is Pyramid?
----------------
-Pyramid is a web application development framework. Pyramid is lean, fast, stable, well-tested, and thoroughly documented. Pyramid is written in Python, and is open source software released under a `BSD-like license <http://repoze.org/license.html>`_.

-Pyramid helps you "start small, finish big". You can create a simple web application using Pyramid with only basic knowledge. As you become more familiar with Pyramid, you'll find there is plenty of room to grow. Code you started with early on can be re-used in mature, large, powerful applications.

-Pyramid has dozens of features — URL generation, authentication and authorization, [one or two more?] — just like any other web application framework. Several features are unique and make Pyramid stand out from the crowd.

Developer Guide
---------------
-The Developer Guide describes Pyramid in depth. Formerly called "narrative documentation", the Developer Guide uses technical terms more familiar to the seasoned web application developer. Beginners may be challenged, to put it mildly, but it's a challenge worth accepting. Developers who have already installed Pyramid, worked through a few tutorials, and are ready to write their own applications will find that this guide offers a comprehensive understanding of Pyramid.
