Welcome to Newcomers Corner on Absolute Power++! This area is designed to give people who are new to Power++ or new to C++ a good starting place on the learning curve of both.

We will be covering topics ranging from working in the IDE (Integrated Development Environment) to basic C++ topics. My intention is that anyone will be able to get something out of this area... I will try to cover everything I can in this area and if I can't get to your topic, I will try to get an answer to you. If you would like to write an entry for this area, please let me know!!!

Upcoming topics will include, but not be limited to the following:

• Using the debugger
• Power++ components
• C++ Functions

As implied above, the articles in this section have been written by Jon Strande. As well, starting November 4^th, 1997, Darren Osten (dosten(at)earthlink.net) has been writing articles. A big thank you to Jon and Darren!
