This is a simple, but useless, tutorial showing the basic functionality of thrudb. The tutorial loads a set of del.icio.us bookmarks(tab separated) searches/sorts them, displays them, and deletes them Heres how to run it: ######################################## #first make thrudb in parent directory #then in this directory run make #start up thrudb test server ./thrudbctl start cd rb; ruby BookmarkExample.rb #or cd perl; perl BookmarkExample.rb #finally ./thrudbctl stop ############################################ This should be enough to get you started with thrudb I'll be adding code in other languages too (java,php). Keep in mind that this tutorial uses thrift to handle bookmarks. you could use just plain xml or another serializable format to implement this in thrudb too. -Jake
