-- The gRPC C++ refenrence documentation is available online at
-  [grpc.io](http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/basic/c.html)
-- [Helloworld example](../../examples/cpp/helloworld)
+You can find out how to build and run our simplest gRPC C++ example in our
+[C++ quick start](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/{{ site.data.config.grpc_release_branch }}/examples/cpp).
 
+For more detailed documentation on using gRPC in C++ , see our main
+documentation site at [grpc.io](http://grpc.io), specifically:
+
+* [Overview](http://www.grpc.io/docs/): An introduction to gRPC with a simple
+  Hello World example in all our supported languages, including C++.
+* [gRPC Basics - C++](http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/basic/c.html):
+  A tutorial that steps you through creating a simple gRPC C++ example
+  application.
+* [Asynchronous Basics - C++](http://www.grpc.io/docs/tutorials/async/helloasync-cpp.html):
+  A tutorial that shows you how to use gRPC C++'s asynchronous/non-blocking
+  APIs.

+# Examples

+Code examples for gRPC C++ live in this repository's
+[examples/cpp](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/tree/{{ site.data.config.grpc_release_branch }}/examples/cpp) directory.
