+# Welcome to Buffalo!
+
+Thank you for choosing Buffalo for your web development needs.
+
+## Starting the Application
+
+Buffalo ships with a command that will watch your application and automatically rebuild the Go binary and any assets for you. To do that run the "buffalo dev" command:
+
+	$ buffalo dev
+
+If you point your browser to [http://127.0.0.1:3000](http://127.0.0.1:3000) you should see a "Welcome to Buffalo!" page.
+
+**Congratulations!** You now have your Buffalo application up and running.
+
+## What Next?
+
+We recommend you heading over to [http://gobuffalo.io](http://gobuffalo.io) and reviewing all of the great documentation there.
+
+Good luck!
+
+[Powered by Buffalo](http://gobuffalo.io)
