A new Quick Start Guide (PDF) for developers using the POCO Platform is available. This guide contains valuable information for first time POCO Platform users, including an overview of the POCO Platform, a guide to building the POCO Platform libraries and tools from the delivered source code, and tips for working effectively with the software. The document is still preliminary and a work-in-progress, but nevertheless quite useful already.

POCO Platform 2009.1 Available
The 2009.1 release of the POCO Platform has been completed today. This release is based on the POCO C++ Libraries 1.3.5 release and features significant improvements to Remoting and OSP. Among the new features are improved integration of Remoting into OSP, a new OSP Shell service and support for signed bundles in OSP. Last but not least the documentation has been greately improved.
Customers will be able to download the source code for the new release starting tomorrow. Links to our new download site will be emailed out individually to each customer.
A new evaluation version containing the new features will be available next week.
Improved POCO Platform Documentation
With the upcoming 2009.1 release of the POCO Platform, we have also started the Documentation Improvement Project with the goal — as the project name implies — to improve and extend the available documentation for the POCO Platform. We have started with the new Remoting documentation. Writing good documentation takes a lot of time, as any developer knows, but over the coming weeks and months we will work on the documentation for other parts of the POCO Platform, as well as for the POCO C++ Libraries as well.
You can check out the new documentation at docs.appinf.com.
