Today, the Social LabVIEW Revolution begins.
JKI is proud to announce GTweet: the world's first Twitter-driven, crowd-sourced LabVIEW software development tool!
A Revolution in Dataflow!
GTweet harnesses the combined powers of Twitter and LabVIEW Scripting to open the door to a whole new way of creating software. No longer is LabVIEW constrained to a single engineer at a single computer. Anyone can collaborate with any number of friends and strangers, to create LabVIEW software together.
Simple, Yet Profound!
Using a special Twitter hashtag, GTweet listens for commands from the global Twitter feed. These commands enable users around the globe to tell LabVIEW exactly which nodes to drop where, which terminals to wire, and any other programming tasks.
And since everyone can GTweet together, GTweet is limited only by the power of your social LabVIEW network!
A New Paradigm in Software Development!
GTweet isn't just LabVIEW-by-Twitter. It's a whole new way to think about programming.
It enables your development team to bring the modern thousand monkeys at a thousand typewriters theory of software engineering to LabVIEW. By using GTweet, you never have to worry about who is working on a particular VI. Everyone can edit the same VIs in parallel!
More eyes on the code means fewer bugs! More engineers means faster progress!
Social Media, Social LabVIEW!
GTweet merely scratches the surface of social collaboration in LabVIEW. Like Twitter itself, GTweet is merely the gateway to a novel concept that JKI calls social dataflow.
As the social media landscape continues to grow and change, JKI is making sure that LabVIEW, and GTweet, will set the standard. Why just ReTweet, when you can GTweet?
How will GTweet change your life? Tell us in the comments. Or better yet, tweet about it!
Follow JKI on Twitter!
If you use Twitter and you use LabVIEW, you should definitely follow JKI! You can follow the main JKI Software account, and you can also follow some of the individual JKI engineers: Jim, Justin, Michael, Omar, or Tomi. If you pay close attention, you might catch us using GTweet to invent The Next Big Thing in dataflow!
Special Thanks!
JKI would like to thank Darren Nattinger for providing the grammar for GTweet, and also some of the other secret sauce.
