Using NetworkTables in C++ (need a quick and concise tutorial)

Disclaimer: I have only been programming for a little over a year, so I am still somewhat of an amateur.

My team is thinking of using our driver station to do image processing and sending data to and from the robot. I did some digging around and learned about WPILib's NetworkTable, and I heard about how simple it is to use. However, I'm having some trouble finding sufficient documentation to learn how to use NetworkTable. This is the only thing I could find:

http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/...client-pc-side

However, the most crucial part of the documentation ("The client (laptop) side of the program") is written in Java, which I have been unable to successfully translate into C++. Do any of you know where I could find similar documentation on NetworkTable, specifically for C++? If not, could anyone sort of summarize how it should be used and provide examples in C++? Thank you!
