Application development

Developers write applications in the Kinetic Rule Language (KRL), a rule-based language for defining contextual interactions with web pages a user visits.[1] Currently, such development can be done via the interface of the Kynetx AppBuilder.[2]

Kynetx, Inc. has a strategic partnership with Acxiom to support developers building applications helping businesses make informed marketing and business decisions using Acxiom consumer data.[3]

Other data sources include GData, Amazon's Product Advertising and OData API access.

Conferences

Kynetx holds semiannual developer conferences called "Kynetx Impact." Past keynote speakers have been G. Craig Burton, founder of Novell and the Burton Group, Kim Cameron, Security Architect with Microsoft and Doc Searls

During these conferences, new platform features are announced and discussed. "un-conference" sessions offer developers of Kynetx Platform applications opportunities to get advice and discuss application ideas with the KNS platform's core development team.
