Innovation Begins with Exploration!
 |
You have just seen how data from your asset can trigger rules and how a rule can perform an action. You’ve done well. Now you are ready to further explore the power of the Axeda Platform. Grab a cup of coffee and dive into more tutorials to satisfy your curiosity. Some suggestions include: |
Learn how the Get Started phone call was done
The Get Started tutorial used a third-party site named Twilio (www.twilio.com) to call your phone when an alert was generated on the platform. This tutorial explains how it was done and how you can use Twilio for your applications.
Watch a quick video showing how to build applications on the platform
In this video, Jim Hansen demonstrates how the Axeda Platform simplifies building feature-rich enterprise M2M applications. Topics include: flexible communication methods, powerful rules, maps, conditions, comprehensive APIs, Web Services, and Groovy scripting.
Explore the code behind this Get Started Flash app
This Get Started app is designed to be simple and clean, and the code is also meant to be very easy to understand. A full-featured application will most likely become more complex. This application uses the REST-style Web Services that run a Groovy script, called Scripto. Learn more about the application and Scripto in this tutorial.
Review the Axeda Platform Technical Overview
This white paper details the platform features that simplify and speed the process of developing and deploying your applications, including a sophisticated data model, powerful business rules engine, the AWP Toolkit, Location-Based Services, and more.
Learn how to connect assets with the Axeda Wireless Protocol (AWP) and the AWP Toolkit
The Axeda Wireless Protocol (AWP) provides rich communication with the Axeda Platform while minimizing bytes-over-the-air to reduce wireless costs. Device manufacturers can use the Axeda AWP Toolkit to implement support for AWP communications (including file transfers) in their embedded devices. This section of the developer Connection has links to the toolkit itself and reference information.
Take a deep-dive into Expression Rules
As described, Expression rules are the heart of the Platform's processing capability. Check out this article to see examples of Expression rules, understand their different types, learn how Rule Timers can trigger rules to run on a scheduled basis and how to create and test an Expression Rule.
