+Include the basic requirements to get started in this subtopic
 
-1. a general conclusion paragraph 
-2. "What We've Covered" section with a bulleted list of things
-3. "Related Resources" with links to various other resources, other guides, docs, videos, GitHub source code, etc.

+Include what the end user will learn in this subtopic
 
-It's also important to remember that by the time a reader has completed a Guide, the goal is that they have actually built something! Guides teach through hands-on examples -- not just explaining concepts.
