Dylan, one of my proposed "book" ideas (see the other thread): http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/incubator-tinkerpop-dev/201510.mbox/%3CCAA-H43-tAt0jV_DPwHsf54x5ewBf%3DDj%3DO6ae_Es3Kd1U%3De9s0Q%40mail.gmail.com%3E
It sounds like item 3 in that list is what you're talking about. I'd love to see a tutorial that shows how you connect to Gremlin Server with java, alongside php, alongside .NET, etc. I need to layout the "tutorial book" but once i do it will be super easy to add new content too. I'll try to work on that soon - was just waiting to hear what folks thought about the initial books we should have before I set it up.
