Once your environment is set up, you are ready to build your DB2 applications. The following chapters discuss the sample programs, and show you how to compile, link, and run them. First read Chapter 3, "General Information for Building DB2 Applications", then the specific chapter that follows for the applications you are building.
For programming with DB2 APIs, DB2 CLI, and Embedded SQL, see the 'Building Applications' chapter for your platform. If you are programming with Java, see Chapter 4, "Building Java Applets and Applications".
For further information, refer to the following books. To develop applications using embedded SQL, JDBC, and SQLJ, see the Application Development Guide. For applications using DB2 CLI or ODBC, see the CLI Guide and Reference. For DB2 API applications, see the Administrative API Reference.
