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.
Getty Images has a JSON-based API for searching and downloading its images. SDK Bridge took developer-written documentation in a Microsoft Word document, and turned it into clear, understandable, easy-to-read web-based documentation.
SDK Bridge understood how our API worked, asked the right questions, and created the documentation that we needed.

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.

Buddy provides a sophisticated cloud back-end to mobile apps through its API. SDK Bridge wrote Buddy's API documentation, including both reference and overview material, using an Umbraco content system.
Excellent documentation, great communication, and fast turn-around.

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.
