Introducing C++

Well, I hope you approve of the new website. It took most of Sunday, but I eventually got everything installed and updated. I've decided to start adding some actual content to the site (rather than just using it as a fancy blog). To that end, I've started writing an introduction to C++, which is the in the introduction to the design of Sire (see the software design link on the left). This will give enough background in C++ that I can then start describing the design of Sire. This will provide a higher level of documentation than is currently available (at the moment, Sire is documented purely at the source code level, via doxygen comments).

The new design of the site is growing on me as well. I originally used this theme as it was simple enough that I could ignore it while I was adding content (essentially, it didn't annoy me too much). I was planning on creating a pretty theme with some nice rendered pictures of some molecules, but I am now thinking that that is unnecessary, and that simple minimalism is best.
