Create a "getting started" section explaining how to use the typings in a typescript project. Ref: DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped#4631

I think this is tightly bound to #15 as usage of definition files depends on the IDE you are using. I'm happy to look into this and at least provide some docs for the tools I'm using (IDE free/CLI, WebStorm/PHPStorm, Atom, maybe Sublime) as soon I got time.

Yeah, the one-line 'usage' instructions are extremely frustrating. A more complete example would be very helpful.

It would be great to know how to set up tsconfig.json. Is

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "typeRoots": ["./types", "./node_modules/@types"]
  }
}

the minimum viable usage of DefinitelyTyped? What do you do if a package includes its own type definitions (like aws-sdk)?
