+Basic API
+=========
+
+MySqlConnector aims to be fully ADO.NET-compatible; its API should feel almost identical to other .NET database drivers.
+Here’s a basic code snippet to get you started.
+
+```csharp
+var connString = "Server=myserver;User ID=mylogin;Password=mypass;Database=mydatabase";
+
+using (var conn = new MySqlConnection(connString))
+{
+    await conn.OpenAsync();
+
+    // Insert some data
+    using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand())
+    {
+        cmd.Connection = conn;
+        cmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO data (some_field) VALUES (@p)";
+        cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("p", "Hello world");
+        await cmd.ExecuteNonQueryAsync();
+    }
+
+    // Retrieve all rows
+    using (var cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT some_field FROM data", conn))
+    using (var reader = await cmd.ExecuteReaderAsync())
+        while (await reader.ReadAsync())
+            Console.WriteLine(reader.GetString(0));
+}
+```
+
+You can find more info about the ADO.NET API in the [MSDN documentation](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/framework/data/adonet/ado-net-overview) or in many tutorials on the Internet.
