Is there any good guide for using the Cassandra Command line Interface?

I wanted to try out Cassandra, and thought the easiest way to get up and running would be via the command line. I was wondering if there is a good guide to using the cli tool that is shipped with Cassandra. I am primarily looking for options to create column families, super columns, insert sample data and query them. The documentation on apache wiki is insufficient.
