-Note that we're not going to go into a lot of detail about how to create a server in this section  More detailed information will be in the tutorial for your chosen language (coming soon).
+Our server application has two classes:
+
+- a simple service implementation [GreetingsImpl.java](java/src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreetingsImpl.java).
+
+- a server that hosts the service implementation and allows access over the network: [GreetingsServer.java](src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreetingsServer.java).
+
+## Service implementation
+
+[GreetingsImpl.java](java/src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreetingsImpl.java)
+implements the behaviour we require of our GreetingService. There are a
+number of important features of gRPC being used here:
+
+```
+  public void hello(Helloworld.HelloRequest req,
+      StreamObserver<Helloworld.HelloReply> responseObserver) {
+    Helloworld.HelloReply reply = Helloworld.HelloReply.newBuilder().setMessage(
+        "Hello " + req.getName()).build();
+    responseObserver.onValue(reply);
+    responseObserver.onCompleted();
+  }
+```
+
+- it provides a class `GreetingsImpl` that implements a generated interface `GreetingsGrpc.Greetings`
+- `GreetingsGrpc.Greetings` declares the method `hello` that was declared in the proto [IDL](src/main/proto/helloworld.proto)
+- `hello's` signature is typesafe:
+   hello(Helloworld.HelloRequest req, StreamObserver<Helloworld.HelloReply> responseObserver)
+- `hello` takes two parameters:
+  `Helloworld.HelloRequest`: the request
+  `StreamObserver<Helloworld.HelloReply>`: a response observer, an interface to be called with the response value
+- to complete the call
+  - the return value is constructed
+  - the responseObserver.onValue() is called with the response
+  - responseObserver.onCompleted() is called to indicate that no more work will done on the RPC.
 
 
+## Server implementation
+
+[GreetingsServer.java](src/main/java/ex/grpc/GreetingsServer.java) shows the
+other main feature required to provde the gRPC service; how to allow a service
+implementation to be accessed from the network.
+
+```
+  private void start() throws Exception {
+    server = NettyServerBuilder.forPort(port)
+             .addService(GreetingsGrpc.bindService(new GreetingsImpl()))
+             .build();
+    server.startAsync();
+    server.awaitRunning(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
+  }
+
+```
+
+- it provides a class `GreetingsServer` that holds a `ServerImpl` that will run the server
+- in the `start` method, `GreetingServer` binds the `GreetingsService` implementation to a port and begins running it
+- there is also a `stop` method that takes care of shutting down the service and cleaning up when the program exits
+
+## Build it
+
