+I've been fascinated by the concepts in [finagle](http://twitter.github.com/finagle/) for some time, but being a scala noob, I never knew how to bootstrap a finagle project. Turns out twitter has a gem, [scala-bootstrapper](https://github.com/twitter/scala-bootstrapper), that generates a simple thirft based key/value store for you. There's even a[tutorial](http://twitter.github.com/scala_school/searchbird.html)  on how to extend the example project into a distributed search service.
+
+This is a guide on setting it all up locally, it assumes you have Git, Homebrew, and OS X.
+
+### Install scala 2.8.1
+
+```sh
+$ brew versions scala
+$ cd/usr/local/(or wherever you have homebrew installed)
+$ git checkout -b scala281 0e16b9d(make sure the SHA matches versions output)
+$ brew install scala
+$ git checkout master$git branch -D scala281
+```
+
+### Install sbt 0.7.4 (assumes you have a ~/bin in your $PATH)
+
+```sh
+$ curl -O http://simple-build-tool.googlecode.com/files/sbt-launch-0.7.4.jar > ~/bin/sbt-launch.jar
+$ echo 'java -Xmx1G -jar `dirname $0`/sbt-launch.jar "$@"'> ~/bin/sbt
+```
+
+### Install scala-bootstrapper
+
+```sh
+$ gem install scala-bootstrapper
+```
+
+### Generate finagle project**
+
+```sh
+$ mkdir newbird
+$ cd newbird
+$ scala-bootstrapper newbird
+$ sbt update
+$ sbt test
+```
+
+### Add a Client class
+
+create newbird/src/main/scala/com/twitter/newbird/Client.scala with
+
+```scala
+package com.twitter.newbird
+
+import com.twitter.finagle.builder.ClientBuilder
+import com.twitter.finagle.thrift.ThriftClientFramedCodec
+import com.twitter.newbird.thrift._
+import org.apache.thrift.protocol.TBinaryProtocol
+
+import java.net.InetSocketAddress
+
+class Client {  
+
+  val service = ClientBuilder().hosts(Seq(newInetSocketAddress("localhost",9999)))
+    .codec(ThriftClientFramedCodec())    
+    .hostConnectionLimit(1)    
+    .build()  
+  val client = new NewbirdServiceClientAdapter(
+    new thrift.NewbirdService.ServiceToClient(service,newTBinaryProtocol.Factory))  
+
+  def get(key:String) = client.get(key)()  
+  def put(key:String, value:String) = client.put(key,value)()
+
+}
+
+```
+
+### Running the server
+
+```sh
+$ cd newbird
+$ sbt> run -f config/development.scala
+
+```
+
+### Playing with the client
+
+
+```sh
+$ cd newbird
+$ sbt console
+scala> import com.twitter.newbird.Client
+scala> val client = new Client()
+scala> client.put("foo","bar")
+scala> client.get("foo")
+```
+
+### Bonus
+
+finagle exports a stats url you can curl:
+
+```sh
+$ curl http://localhost:9900/stats.txt
