Building an application
### Where do I start?
The first thing to do is to listen to the technical demo
Then follow documented instructions on Github on downloading PDA tools for
local environment development.
When you're ready, register at the Developers Portal at
https://developers.dataswift.io. Check out the tutorial here.
The developers portal gives you your own testing PDA which you use to interact
with your app. Your real PDA is used to authenticate your identity as a
developer, and you are given a testing PDA for you to test your application
on.
For more information on the developers portal, check out the developers guide
here.
### What is the build environment?
Design your application around the design patterns described previously. Then
decide the application environment you want to build in. You might need to
stand up your own application server if your application is more complex.
There are libraries for Javascript, iOS, Android and for other languages, you
can use the REST APIs \- they can all be seen in the developers guides.
### What happens after I've built the app?
Submit the app for review within the developers portal. This submission will
also be your application's request to set up the data contracts between your
application and your users. The review team will be in touch if they have
questions.
