![]() In about 2005, talking with Salesforce, they were telling us about the AppExchange, and so we applied this technology to building the rich applications on top of Salesforce's architecture. And so that's really how the company got started. You know and then Microsoft and IBM came out with a SOAP standard, and through one of the big service platforms to come out after that one of the first was Salesforce, and then many different service platforms came out. So you know basically anywhere you could have an internet HTML application you could instead write a rich client application that called services. And then later it really gained momentum - this idea that a client application could call a service anywhere else in the world and do this across usually just across HTTP posts. And so the first couple things I built were really on the very earliest services from places like XMethods and things like that. And you can also use it for a wide variety of other things like the internet of things, basically anywhere you need to connect a database to a REST service.ĮB: And what led you to build DreamFactory?īA: Well I started building service-based applications almost 15 years ago, back when Dave Winer first invented XML-RPC in the late ‘90s, the early 2000’s, and recognized it was just a really fabulous way for a client application to get data from a remote data source. DreamFactory is an open source software package for mobile application developers, and we make it really easy to hook up to back-end databases and other services and storage medium and then expose all of that information as a REST API, which is really critical for HTML5 mobile or Native mobile. Bill, thanks for joining me today.ĮB: So just to start out, can you tell us a little bit about DreamFactory for users that aren’t familiar with it, and then we can talk a little bit about your background and why you started DreamFactory.īA: Sure. And I’m here with Bill Appleton, CEO and founder of DreamFactory. This is part of an ongoing series of interviews we're doing to highlight some of the great applications in the Bitnami library and the people and teams behind them.Įrica Brescia: Hi, this is Erica Brescia, one of the founders of Bitnami. And why everyone is moving to REST and JSON.The conversation covered a lot of ground including: Bitnami co-founder, Erica Brescia, spoke with DreamFactory CEO, Bill Appleton, about DreamFactory, an open source REST API for mobile enterprise application developers. ![]()
