title: What is RPC framework and Apache Thrift?
body: <p>I need to learn <a href="http://thrift.apache.org/">Apache Thrift</a> for a University project. As this <a href="http://chamibuddhika.wordpress.com/2011/10/02/apache-thrift-quickstart-tutorial/">tutorial</a> says, it is an RPC framework, and it was the only document I could find for Thrift other than <a href="http://thrift.apache.org/">their documentation</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone tell me what is a RPC framework and how does this relate to Apache Thrift?</p>
