Ways to get started
To start creating an app with Divblox, you need to configure a development environment (also known as a deployment environment). To do this you have a number of options:
The first and easiest way is to spin up a Divblox sandbox where you can get a feel for the Divblox environment and play around with most of Divblox's features
A slightly more advanced option that allows for more complex features, is to download the Divblox VirtualBox image and import that as a virtual machine on a local machine of your choosing
The third, and most hands on option, is to configure a Divblox deployment environment from scratch on a machine of your choosing
Sandbox vs local deployment
In a local deployment environment, more advanced features are available:
- You can configure your server variables and modules
- You can configure your database connections
- You can export to native
- You have full access to your entire code base
- You can deploy your app to another deployment environment
A deployment environment is defined as an instance of a project, that is hosted on a web server, which is accessible by a user. These can include, but are not limited to:
- A local web server on a development computer
- A cloud based web server
