Assuming they have used a sane OOP setup it shouldnt take long for a programmer used to C++ and OOP designs etc to get their head around it all :) I hope this SDK is proper pure C++ and not the "C with classes added to try to help" that the old SDK was, now i've become alot more fluant and experianced with C++ I cant live with the STL and other nice goodies in the template librarys :)
