Hello all,
So for the last six months, I have been super busy starting a new company called build.Automate, Inc. As part of the startup, I was also developing a new product to go with that launch called the XData Toolkit. It was a fairly large venture that took an inordinate amount of time professionally and personally. The XData Toolkit is a WordPress plugin that allows one to, well, here is the product description:
“The XData Toolkit is an XML/XSLT transformation engine that allows one to retrieve data from multiple datasources such as MySQL databases, XML, RSS Feeds and REST-based Web Services. This toolkit is a powerful way to build your WordPress sites faster and more dynamically. Integrate scores of different data sources into your site without the need for custom coding and style it using XML standards-based XSL Transformation. Build queries online with the Dynamic Query Interface Builder. Create stylesheets without expensive development tools!”
Since its launch last week, I have been very pleased at the response to its acceptance within the WordPress community. I have 6 more pre-determined versions coming out in the next two months that will build incremental features. This tool has been a long time coming and will allow just about anybody to create large scale WordPress systems with large amounts of dynamic data. I look forward to its evolution from last weeks’ release to a full scale product suite, which is where it is headed. I plan to take on the big boys of XML editors by offering an open source product that does amazing stuff. I also plan to push the WordPress Content Management System into new frontiers.
My company build.Automate, Inc. has the operating mantra of “Superior User Experience, Superior Quality, Superior Service, Superior Results”. You can get more information at my company’s website at http://www.buildautomate.com .
