| Tutorial |
| ======== |
| |
| 1) First things first, you'll need to install the Thrift compiler and the |
| language libraries. Do that using the instructions in the top level |
| README file. |
| |
| 2) Read tutorial.thrift to learn about the syntax of a Thrift file |
| |
| 3) Compile the code for the language of your choice: |
| |
| $ thrift |
| $ thrift -r --gen cpp tutorial.thrift |
| |
| 4) Take a look at the generated code. |
| |
| 5) Look in the language directories for sample client/server code. |
| |
| 6) That's about it for now. This tutorial is intentionally brief. It should be |
| just enough to get you started and ready to build your own project. |
