 RIF is a command-line tool that allows you to store repetitive and complex
 HTTP requests as files to make testing and interacting with HTTP APIs a breeze.
 
+
+# Quickstart
+## Making Your First Request
+To get started, we will be making a simple GET request to
+[httpbin.org/get](http://httpbin.org/get). This endpoint returns the details
+of GET requests back to the client as JSON.
+
+We will be passing in a URL parameter called `message` that is parameterised
+using RIFs variable templating feature.
+
+Open your editor of choice and save the following file to your computer
+as `gethttpbin.rif`:
+```
+rif_version: 0
+url: "http://httpbin.org/get?message=hello%20$(place)"
+method: "GET"
+variables:
+  place:
+    type: "string"
+    default: "world"
+```
+
+Next, open your terminal in the same location and run RIF,
+passing in the file you just created:
+```
+$ rif ./gethttpbin.rif
+```
+
+If all goes well you should see something like the following:
+```
+{
+  "args": {
+    "message": "hello world"
+  }, 
+  "headers": {
+    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", 
+    "Connection": "close", 
+    "Host": "httpbin.org", 
+    "User-Agent": "RIF/0.2.0"
+  }, 
+  "origin": "<YOUR IP ADDRESS>", 
+  "url": "http://httpbin.org/get?message=hello world"
+}
+```
+
+## Variable Templating
+Now let's use RIF's variable templating feature to override our welcome message.
+Paste the following command into your terminal:
+```
+$ rif ./gethttpbin.rif place=universe
+```
+
+You should now see that the response has changed:
+```
+{
+  "args": {
+    "message": "hello universe"
+  }, 
+  "headers": {
+    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip", 
+    "Connection": "close", 
+    "Host": "httpbin.org", 
+    "User-Agent": "RIF/0.2.0"
+  }, 
+  "origin": "<YOUR IP ADDRESS>", 
+  "url": "http://httpbin.org/get?message=hello universe"
+}
+```
+
+Congratulations! You have just made and executed your first `.rif` file!
