Scheduler requires a working knowledge of C++. This manual assumes you already know how to program in C++ and that you will consult your favorite programming guide for C++ when you have questions in that area.

As you develop your own applications using Scheduler, you can use any C++ development environment that you find comfortable and familiar. Since it is a C++ library, Scheduler does not require any idiosyncratic or peculiar resources itself. Scheduler does not impose any extensions on C++ as a language, so you do not have to learn a new syntax or a new way of doing things.

The standard distribution comes with make files that you can copy and adapt to your own environment. The standard distribution also includes appropriate project files, in case you prefer a graphic user interface for compiling and linking.
