 It is recommended to have at least a basic grasp on the principles of the [pyactiveresource](https://github.com/Shopify/pyactiveresource) library, which is a port of rails/ActiveResource to Python and upon which this package relies heavily.
 
 Instances of `pyactiveresource` resources map to RESTful resources in the Shopify API.
 
 `pyactiveresource` exposes life cycle methods for creating, finding, updating, and deleting resources which are equivalent to the `POST`, `GET`, `PUT`, and `DELETE` HTTP verbs.
