I'm pretty new to C++ Builder, but I find it quite powerful and facinating. I would like to build an application that will accept input from the Com1 port so I can hook a time clock to it. I'm haveing a little trouble gettin started. Can anyone suggest a good tutor or "walk-through" type App. to teach me the basics? Is there a standard order to follow when developing applications? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
