Description

While trying to use Thrift for serialization / deserialization only on NetCore & C_glib I realized there's little to no documentation / tutorials on how to do it. And so I would love to donate the modest sample apps (for each respective platform) that I created throughout the process of learning how to do it.

I've written an email (as [e-mail]) to user mailing list and was told (by jensg) to move the conversation there. In that thread I also linked older version of the example code I wanted to share. Newer version can be found here:

I'm fully aware that the code isn't ideal (it doesn't reuse buffers, doesn't do proper error handling, ..) but I think it could still have some value. I could also throw in some rudimentary socket code for both platforms that would show how to communicate but I think that might be out of scope of Thrit.
