Hi Could you help me out get a very simple example code using phoenix that is ready for running without the need for building. I tried to get the example from the link you provided but failed.I want to learn how to use Phoenix but the documentation you provide has’nt got something simple to start with. A simple tutorial on how to use phoenix would help. I love programming in Java and Phoenix is just one technology I want to use in my projects and would love to contribute in the project. regards Kwirirai Nhakwi Design@7 visual works 2nd Floor, Redbridge South Eastgate Centre, Sam Nujoma St. Harare, Zimbabwe Phone +263 - 4 703510, 703170 www.designat7.co.zw
