+
+## Simple SKiDL Example for Beginners
+
+Here is a minimal example that shows how to define a resistor and an LED connected in series using SKiDL:
+
+```python
+from skidl import *
+
+# Create a resistor and LED.
+r = Part('device', 'R', value='1k')
+led = Part('device', 'LED')
+
+# Connect resistor to LED.
+r[1] += led[1]
+r[2] += led[2]
+
+# Generate the netlist.
