Getting Started¶
Getting Started walks through installing the DataFlex TechStack, understanding how toolchains work, and building and running your first TechStack project, before moving on to the shipped sample applications.
About the TechStack Preview Program¶
The DataFlex TechStack Preview Program gives every DataFlex developer access to the next generation of DataFlex technology. Download the latest preview, experiment with new capabilities, follow development as it happens, and help shape the future of the platform through your feedback.
Rather than a single beta release, the program evolves continuously: new capabilities are added regularly, documentation grows alongside development, and community feedback helps shape future releases.
The Preview Program is designed for developers who enjoy exploring new technology and want an early look at where DataFlex is heading. For production applications, use the current stable DataFlex release.
How it works¶
- Download the latest TechStack Preview.
- Follow the Getting Started documentation.
- Experiment with the latest capabilities.
