+==========
+Background
+==========
+
+This version of the :mod:`pyramid` wiki tutorial presents a
+:mod:`pyramid` application that uses technologies which will be
+familiar to someone with :term:`Zope` experience. It uses
+:term:`ZODB` as a persistence mechanism and :term:`traversal` to map
+URLs to code. It can also be followed by people without any prior
+Python web framework experience.
+
+To code along with this tutorial, the developer will need a UNIX
+machine with development tools (Mac OS X with XCode, any Linux or BSD
+variant, etc) *or* he will need a Windows system of any kind.
+
+This tutorial targets :mod:`pyramid` version 1.3.
+
+Have fun!
