+This directory contains a number of examples showcasing various capabilities of
+the `tokio` crate.
+
+All examples can be executed with:
+
+```
+cargo run --example $name
+```
+
+A good starting point for the examples would be [`hello_world`](hello_world.rs)
+and [`echo`](echo.rs). Additionally [the tokio website][tokioweb] contains
+additional guides for some of the examples.
+
+If you've got an example you'd like to see here, please feel free to open an
+issue. Otherwise if you've got an example you'd like to add, please feel free
+to make a PR!
