ds1307 real time clock

After setting up the tmp102 sucessfully I asm about to try a sparkfun ds1307 real time clock module. Is there a library available for this ? I found something at http://wiring.org.co/learning/libraries/realtimeclock.html which seems to be c++ code so it should be adaptable but it seems to require #wire.h about which I know nothing. Any suggestions. There is mention of a ds102 somewhere on mbed but I'm not sure if it could be adapted. As a complete beginner at embedded code I'd welcome any guidance particularly on the meaning of .h files and .cpp files and where they fit into the scheme of things.

Did you know that the mbed has already a RTC?

Yes I know about the internal RTC but I wanted to expand my knowledge of 12c and coding.
