+# Introduction
+
+## Who is this for
+
+#### Users of Kubernetes
+
+Users of Kubernetes will develop a deeper understanding Kubernetes through learning
+the fundamental concepts behind how APIs are designed and implemented.  This book
+will teach readers how to develop their own Kubernetes APIs and the
+principals from which the core Kubernetes APIs are designed.
+
+Including:
+
+- The structure of Kubernetes APIs and Resources
+- API versioning semantics
+- Self-healing
+- Garbage Collection and Finalizers
+- Declarative vs Imperative APIs
+- Level-Based vs Edge-Base APIs
+- Resources vs Subresources
+
+#### Kubernetes API extension developers
+
+API extension developers will learn the principals and concepts behind implementing canonical
+Kubernetes APIs, as well as simple tools and libraries for rapid execution.  This
+book covers pitfalls and miss-conceptions that extension developers commonly encounter.
+
+Including:
+
+- How to batch multiple events into a single reconciliation call
+- How to configure periodic reconciliation
+- *Forthcoming*
+    - When to use the lister cache vs live lookups
+    - Garbage Collection vs Finalizers
+    - How to use Declarative vs Webhook Validation
+    - How to implement API versioning
+
+## Navigating this book
+
+This section describes how to use the navigation elements of this book
+
+##### Code Navigation
+
+Code samples may be either displayed to the side of the corresponding documentation, or inlined

+# Project Creation and Structure {#project-creation-and-structure}
+
+## Go package Structure
+
+Kubebuilder projects contain 4 important packages.
+
+##### cmd/...
+
+The `cmd` package contains the controller-manager main program which runs controllers.  Users typically
+will not need to modify this package unless they are doing something special.
+
+##### pkg/apis/...
+
+The `pkg/apis/...` packages contains the *go* structs that define the resource schemas.
+Users edit `*_types.go` files under this director to implement their API definitions.
+
+Each resource lives in a `pkg/apis/<api-group-name>/<api-version-name>/<api-kind-name>_types.go`
+file.
+
+For more information on API Group, Version and Kinds, see the *What is a Resource* chapter.
+
+{% panel style="info", title="Generated code" %}
+Kubebuilder generates boilerplate code to add required types and register APIs in this package.
+Boilerplate code is written to `zz_generated.*` files, and should only be written
+by kubebuilder.
+{% endpanel %}
+
+##### pkg/controller/...
+
+The `pkg/controller/...` packages contain the *go* types and functions that implement the
+business logic for APIs in *controllers*.
+
+More information on Controllers in the *What is a Controller* chapter.
+
+##### pkg/inject/...
+
+The `pkg/inject/...` packages contain the generated code that registers annotated
+Controllers and Resources.
+
+*Note*: This package is unique to kubebuilder.
+
+## Additional directories
+
+In addition to the packages above, a Kubebuilder project has several other directories.
+
+##### hack/...
+
+Kubebuilder puts misc files into the hack directory, such as API installation yaml files
+and samples resource configs.
+
+##### docs/...
+
+API reference documentation, user defined API samples and API conceptual documentation go here.
+
+{% method %}
+## Create a new project
+
+Create a new kubebuilder project.  This will automatically initialize the vendored go libraries
+that will be required to build your project.
+
+{% sample lang="bash" %}
+```bash
+$ kubebuilder init --domain k8s.io
+```
+{% endmethod %}
+
+{% method %}
+## Create a new API (Resource)
+
+Create the *_types.go file and controller.go files.
+
+{% sample lang="bash" %}
+```bash
+$ kubebuilder create resource --group mygroup --version v1beta1 --kind MyKind
+```
+{% endmethod %}
+
+{% method %}
+## Run your controller-manager locally against a Kubernetes cluster
+
+Users may run the controller-manager binary locally against a Kubernetes cluster.  This will
+install the APIs into the cluster and begin watching and reconciling the resources.
+
+{% sample lang="bash" %}
+```bash
+# Create a minikube cluster
+$ minikube start
+
+# Install the APIs into the minikube cluster and begin watching it
+$ GOBIN=${PWD}/bin go install ${PWD#$GOPATH/src/}/cmd/controller-manager
+$ bin/controller-manager --kubeconfig ~/.kube/config
+```
+{% endmethod %}
+
+{% method %}
+## Create an object
+
+Create a new instance of your Resource.  Observe the controller-manager logs after creating the object.
+
+{% sample lang="bash" %}
+```bash
+$ kubectl apply -f hack/sample/<resource>.yaml
+```
+{% endmethod %}
