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.
CityGrid Media
Starting with rough developer-created documentation, SDK Bridge created overview material, reorganized reference material, and filled in missing pieces of CityGrid Media’s REST API documentation. See the Confluence documentation at: CityGrid APIs.

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.” – Amanda Whaley, Director of Technical Services
LiveOps
LiveOps creates software for call centers. SDK Bridge reworked old documentation and added documentation for new features, finding the most appropriate content tool for LiveOp’s customers. “SDK Bridge exceeded our expectations” – Keith McFarlane, Software Architect
VerticalResponse
SDK Bridge wrote API reference documentation and Quick Start guides for VerticalResponses’s API for email MARKETING and social media campaigns. See the documentation: VerticalResponse API documentation.
PostSharp
PostSharp provides .NET libraries that make it easy for developers to implement common design patterns. SDK Bridge wrote a series of articles that explained how to best implement design patterns using PostSharp’s libraries. See an example “How to” page at: PostSharp Method Interception.
MySpace
SDK Bridge reorganized and rewrote documentation for MySpace’s API used in building MySpace Apps, bringing a consistent style to multiple versions.
Ubermind (now Deloite)
SDK Bridge documented Übermind’s iPhone and iPad apps for a national retail chain, explaining the connection between what is shown on the screen and the web services that provide the data. The result was a 100 page document, complete with annotated screenshots, providing their client with a clear understanding of how the apps work.
Microsoft Office Automation
SDK Bridge converted Microsoft Office Automation documentation for 3500 topics from Visual Basic to .NET. Microsoft provided an automated process, but manual inspection and clean up was required on nearly all of the topics.
