+# Samples
+
+This directory contains a set of samples demonstrating how one can work with Kotlin/Native. The samples can be
+built using either command line tools (via `build.sh` script presented in each sample directory) or using a gradle build.
+See `README.md` in sample directories to learn more about specific samples and the building process.
+
+**Note**: If the samples are built from a source tree (not from a distribution archive) the compiler and the gradle
+plugin built from the sources are used.
+
+One may also build all the samples with one command. To build them using the command line tools run:
+
+    ./build.sh
+    
+To build all the samples using the gradle build:
+
+    ./gradlew build
+    
+One also may launch the command line build via a gradle task `buildSh` (equivalent of `./build.sh` executing):
+
+    ./gradlew buildSh
