ABOUT US

In the complex world of mobile development, it can be difficult to know where to start. You not only need to understand how to develop your application in a fragmented environment, but you also need to engage with carriers and mobile operators in order to deploy and distribute your products.

The WIP Wiki helps make the mobile development process easier and faster. Wherever you are in the development cycle or whatever type of mobile technology you are developing, the WIP Wiki can help you find the tools, partner and resources that you need to take the next step in mobile development.

The WIP Wiki can help developers:
- Find companies that can provide tools to speed development
- Gain access to mobile operators and carriers through developer programs
- Get tips on how other developers have overcome some of the most common challenges
- Figure out who to talk to now and in the future as you proceed through the development cycle
- Find APIs and SDKs for the technologies you are working with
- Learn how to fast track by becoming certified with potential technology partners
- Explore go-to-market services that can help you get your applications and content into the hand of end users

The WIP Wiki is an open partnership project. In the complex world of mobile development, no one person, organization or company has all the answers. That's why WIP Wiki brings together the experience and knowledge of mobile developers from different regions, operating systems, devices, technologies and business models. We welcome input from all mobile developers and program operators.

The WIP Wiki has been developed by:
