8. Getting Started

As a first step in developing and deploying code that runs on Aqua Data Server, we will build and deploy a “Hello World” project.

The project will be built and debugged in Aqua Data Studio and then deployed to Aqua Data Server for access via the web.

The “Hello World” project will not require a database. Instead, it will demonstrate some GUI building features of our Open APIs and AquaScripts, such as Dashboard and HTML forms.
