The Kynetx KRL Development Platform Makes Web Mash-ups Easy; Young Programmers are Making Them Ingenious and Fun

LEHI, Utah--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- There’s a new trend emerging in app programming.
A surprising number of the world’s best new mobile apps and mash-ups are the work of programmers who are in their early-to-mid twenties and younger—a tier of programmers Kynetx, Inc., has dubbed the “App Generation.”

Kynetx is the creator of KNS (Kynetx Network Services), a platform and programming language that allows programmers to create apps that can span multiple URLs and devices. Apps built on Kynetx, provide users with unique Web experiences that mash-up features and data in response to their context. The language is simple to use, providing connections and ready-made templates for apps that allow users to control their internet environment in ways never before seen.

“Young programmers represent a demographic that is fully accustomed to using apps from mobile devices such as their cellphones, and with Kynetx technology they’re perfectly aligned to create apps that can span a myriad of sites and devices,” said Stephen Fulling, Kynetx CEO and co-founder. “If they can think it, they can probably create it—and they often create it within a matter of minutes or hours.”

Of the more than 900 apps that premiered within a few months of Kynetx’ emergence in Fall 2009, the company estimates that more than half have been created by programmers younger than age 25.

One way young developers can join the App Generation is through the Kynetx developer program—it’s free to join and create apps that young people can use to build careers on their own. Developers can market their apps in the Kynetx Marketplace for free as well. Kynetx does not split profits (they charge a small usage fee for hits to the server) and listing requires no up front payment.

The Kynetx “App Generation” is making waves on the national technology stage as well. An app by Kynetx programmer Jessie Morris was recently named to the list of “Top New Bookmarklets” by Maximum PC magazine. At age 18, Morris has been working for Kynetx for about a year. His program, "Sweetter," was the result of his desire to see the most recent Tweets for each web site as he surfed the web.
