Our Work
Case Studies
Starting with rough developer-created documentation, SDK Bridge created overview material, reorganized reference material, and fixed what was missing in CityGrid Media’s REST API documentation.
SDK Bridge took initiative, asked smart questions, and delivered high quality documentation.

CityGrid APIs.
SDK Bridge used XML and Markdown to document APIs that allow developers to create energy applications that monitor and control user data and devices in the home.
SDK Bridge helped Tendril bootstrap its API documentation project.
SDK Bridge has the expertise to quickly assess and
contribute to API programs.

SDK Bridge reorganized and rewrote documentation for MySpace's API used in building MySpace Apps, bringing a consistent style to multiple versions.
With our original API documentation, developers kept telling us they couldn't find the
information they needed. SDK Bridge reorganized our content, filled in missing pieces, and created
documentation that is much easier to understand.

MySpace RESTful APIs.
SDK Bridge wrote SOAP and REST API documentation for KPI Consulting's clients.
SDK Bridge is a professional, qualified and talented group. KPI Consulting needs to work
with companies who "get it" quickly, understand technology, and create technical content and
documentation that is succinct, credible and usable. SDK Bridge understands our requirements,
and can translate the requirements into meaningful deliverables, on time and on budget.

Research on Technology and Learning
SDK Bridge performs research on the most current educational trends in technology. The Software Development for Kids project (formerly Inspiring Youth through Technological Creativity at Red Llama) has been presented at academic conferences, such as Frontiers in Education and SIGCSE (ACM’s Special Interest Group in Computer Science Education). We are continually researching the effectiveness of SDK documentation techniques.
Initial results can be found in our article about our Survey on SDK Documentation.
