+Basics: how to write a simple pipeline
+======================================
+
+Now that we have a working installation of ``bistro`` and ``docker``,
+let us get back to our actual goal, writing bioinformatics
+pipelines. In the following we'll use the ``utop`` interpreter to run
+an OCaml script. If you write your code in a file named
+``pipeline.ml``, you can run it by typing
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   $ utop pipeline.ml
+
+which will create a ``_bistro`` directory used to store the results of
+the pipeline. We'll get back to that later, let's now start with a
+minimal example.
