Update README.md

made it general, not specifically for IRIS Cloud SQL, as we have Jenny's page for that. eventually i would like to add another next to it for this purpose, but for now it will be the repo.

This repo provides drivers for use in making programmatic connections to InterSystems IRIS using JDBC (Java), DB-API (Python), ODBC (C++), and ADO.NET (.NET). Programming a connection involves these simple steps:
1. Download the driver for the language you are developing in, as listed in **Drivers**.
2. Follow the instructions in the learning content listed in **Get Started** to install it in your environment.
3. Continue following the instructions to add the appropriate connection string to your application, using the connection information for your deployment. This information is displayed on the Deployment Details page in the Cloud Services Portal and includes:
- Hostname and port
- Namespace
- IRIS username
- The IRIS password you set when you created the deployment (not displayed for security)
2. Follow the instructions in the documentation listed in **Get Started** to install it in your environment.
3. Continue with the instructions to add the appropriate connection string to your application. To do this, you'll need the following information about the InterSystems IRIS instance you want to connect to:
- The hostname or IP address of the instance's host and the superserver port of the instance (default 1972). If the instance is running in a container, you'll need to know what host port the superserver port was published as when the container was created.
- The Namespace you want to connect to.
- The username and password of an account with sufficient privileges to execute the actions you want to take through the connection.
