Preparing to Develop DataBlade Modules

This section suggests how to prepare for developing DataBlade modules. This overview is intended to act as a map for information resources.

To prepare for DataBlade module development, complete these general processes:

1. If necessary, familiarize yourself with IBM Informix software and documentation (see Becoming Familiar with IBM Informix Software and Documentation, next).
2. Design your DataBlade module (see Designing Your DataBlade Module).

After you finish your preparations, you can develop your DataBlade module and then have it certified (see Developing Your DataBlade Module).
