Kynetx Celebrates 1000 Developers and Contest Winner
Developer Julian Gay wins Kynetx & Twilio Developer Contest with
event-driven Playdate app
LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Kynetx, the provider of the premier development platform for
event-driven, cross-platform applications, announced the addition of its
1000th developer today. Free to sign up and build apps, the
Kynetx developer program offers a platform, rules-based language and IDE
for creating a new breed of event-driven applications in the cloud.
?Developers have never seen anything like this before. No one has?
Developers can take advantage of Kynetx native language intrinsics that
offer easy integration with a variety of data sources and APIs (e.g.
Twitter, Facebook, Gdata, Amazon, OAuth) creating super mash-up
applications that can also act as event-listeners in the cloud.
?Developers have never seen anything like this before. No one has,? says
Stephen W. Fulling, Kynetx CEO. ?The fact that the Kynetx Platform
allows developers to define their own events, leverage data sources and
APIs from any source, then shape the user?s interaction across any web
site, device or platform?all with a cloud-based application?is
unparalleled. It?s an event-layer for the real-time web and a new way to
program the Internet.?
A recent integration with the Twilio
API extended the Kynetx Rules Language into the telephony and SMS arena.
A contest was held for Kynetx and Twilio developers using the new
integration and produced some innovative results. Developer Julian
Gay won the contest with his Playdate app that offers group SMS
functionality for parents to easily coordinate play times. Playdate
works by allowing parents to broadcast where they will be heading to
play with their kids. Julian describes it as a "future check-in." Julian
used the Kynetx development platform to create an event-driven process
initiated by a single SMS message, then broadcast it through the Twilio
platform.
