The IDE Welcome page usually appears the first time you start the IDE, but you can always get to it from the workbench by clicking Help and then Welcome. The welcome screen currently has three options: First Steps, Samples, and Workbench.
First Steps
Clicking First Steps takes you to a page showing a number of on-line examples which lead you through using the IDE. These tutorials are probably the fastest way to get familiar with the IDE and we recommend that you explore them.
Samples
Clicking Samples allows you to import a number of sample projects into your workspace to give you examples of how simple projects can be set up. Most of them assume you have one or two processors of the DEFAULT type.
Workbench
Clicking Workbench takes you to the main part of the IDE where you can develop your application. You can also get there by clicking the × on the screen's tab heading to dismiss the Welcome screen.
