Program a connection using these simple steps:

1. Download the driver for the language you are developing in. 
2. Follow the instructions in the learning content listed below 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 as displayed on the Deployment Details page in the Cloud Services portal, including:
	- Hostname and port
	- Namespace
	- IRIS username
	- The IRIS password you set when you created the deployment (not displayed for security)
