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.
