Hi,
Here are some links I collected: 1. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/CassandraCli: this is how bring it up and run 2. http://arin.me/blog/wtf-is-a-supercolumn-cassandra-data-model is very good to start to understand the schema 3. http://codeqm.blogspot.com/2010/03/java-implementation-of-wtf-is.html: this is the source code which is actually works with the samples provided in previous link 4. http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/API: this is the API (via Thrift) which can be used by referencing the casandra library. 5. http://github.com/rantav/hector: this is high level API based on Thrift API to provide the connection pooling and more features. Well, http://code.google.com/p/jassandra/: this is something I created to provide a JDBC like API for Cassandra. Hope can help.

I found out about Cassandra just yesterday. I took the dive. I have Cassandra and Java installed on my Ubuntu box on my Rackspace Cloud server. I am having a hard time getting things going. I am so used to Relational Databases such as MySQL and MSSQL that I really do not know where to start. I have an existing project that is under development that I would like to start converting to Cassandra and I really do not know where to start. I can not find any step by step tutorials like you would find in a book. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I know you have all been in the same boat than I am right now. Thanks folks! Regards, Michael
