[Ur] Learning the basics

[Adam Chlipala]

A short Ur/Web overview there would be fantastic!  I'm a bit skeptical 
that such short documents are sufficiently helpful, but it never hurts 
to have more information out there.  I don't see myself finding the time 
to write one soon, unfortunately; but, again, I expect a tutorial 
written by someone else would be more useful, anyway.
