+Tutorial and Concepts
+*********************
+
+What is this tutorial about?
+============================
+
+This tutorial covers the basic steps for a newcomer to come to grips with
+CherryPy's unique approach to web application development. After following
+this tutorial, you will be able to understand how CherryPy
+applications work, and also to implement simple but yet powerful applications
+on your own. Some knowledge of the Python programming language is assumed.
+One does not need to be an expert to work with CherryPy, but a good
+understanding of object-oriented basics is strongly recommended.
+
+This tutorial only covers the basic features of CherryPy, but it tries to
+present them in a way that makes it easier for you to discover how to
+use them. The CherryPy distribution comes with several good tutorial applications;
+however, the best way to master CherryPy is to use it to write your own
+Web applications. The embedded web server makes it easy for anyone not only
+to try, but also to deploy local applications, or even small Internet-enabled
+web sites. Try it, and let us know what you did with it!
+
+Knowledge required
+------------------
+
+It is assumed that the user has:
+
+ * Some knowledge of the Python programming language
+ * Some experience with basic object oriented programming
+ * Some knowledge of HTML, which is necessary to build the Web pages
+
+Learning Python
+---------------
+
+As stated above, this is not a guide to the Python language. There are plenty of
+good resources for those learning Python (just to name a few among the best:
+`Python course in Bioinformatics <http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/sis/formation/python/>`_,
+`A Byte Of Python <http://www.byteofpython.info/>`_ and
+`Dive into Python <http://www.diveintopython.org/>`_).
+The `official Python website <http://www.python.org>`_ lists some good
+resources, including an excellent
+`tutorial <http://docs.python.org/tut/tut.html>`_.
