+=================
+Tutorial Approach
+=================
+
+This tutorial uses conventions to keep the introduction focused and
+concise. Details, references, and deeper discussions are mentioned in
+"See Also" notes.
+
+.. seealso:: This is an example "See Also" note.
+
+This "Getting Started" tutorial is broken into independent steps,
+starting with the smallest possible "single file WSGI app" example.
+Each of these steps introduce a topic and a very small set of concepts
+via working code. The steps each correspond to a directory in this
+repo, where each step/topic/directory is a Python package.
+
+To successfully run each step::
+
+  $ cd request_response
+  $ $VENV/bin/python setup.py develop
+
+...and repeat for each step you would like to work on. In most cases we
+will start with the results of an earlier step.
+
+Directory Tree
+==============
+
+As we develop our tutorial our directory tree will resemble the
+structure below::
+
+  quicktutorial/
+    request_response/
+      development.ini
+      setup.py
+      tutorial/
+        __init__.py
+        home.pt
+        tests.py
+        views.py
+
+Each of the first-level directories (e.g. ``request_response``) is a
+*Python project* (except, as noted, the ``hello_world`` step.) The
+``tutorial`` directory is a *Python package*. At the end of each step,
+we copy a previous directory into a new directory to use as a starting
+point.
