+=head2 A birds-eye view
+
+It all starts with an HTTP request like this, sent by your browser.
+
+  GET / HTTP/1.1
+  Host: localhost
+
+Once the request has been received by the web server, it will be passed on to
+L<Mojolicious>, where it will be processed in a few simple steps.
+
+  1. Check if a static file exists that would meet the requirements.
+  2. Try to find a destination with the router, like an action.
+  3. Dispatch the request to this destination.
+  4. Process the request, maybe generating a response with the renderer.
+  5. Return control to the web server, and if no response has been generated
+     yet, wait for a non-blocking operation to do so.
+
+In our case the router would have found an action in step 2, and rendered some
+text in step 4, resulting in an HTTP response like this being sent back to the
+browser.
