# C#/.NET

We target [.NET Standard 2.0](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/standard/net-standard) so you can use .NET Framework 4.6.1+ or .NET Core 2.0+.  Simply add a reference to the [Spark Nuget package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/spark_sdk/) to get started.

```
dotnet new console -lang c#
dotnet add package spark_sdk
dotnet build
```

# C++

The easiest way to get started with C++ is to use the Spark Server SDK to develop your application.  Follow the instructions to [download and install the Spark Server SDK](/server/getting-started/install) and open the client_sdk sample project. If you want to run your C++ Client SDK application on Windows [contact us](mailto://api@bluetradesys.com) to get the required headers and binaries.

# JavaScript

We use JavaScript internally with the Spark Client API over a websocket connection but the documentation and packaging isn't ready yet.  If this is something you're interested in get in touch with us at [api@bluetradesys.com](mailto:api@bluetradesys.com).
