BuildMobile is an online magazine dedicated to the development and design of websites and apps for mobiles and small screen devices. The writers are part of the community the magazine is intended for, you the creators of mobile things. We are dedicated to several flavours of building for mobile, including Android, iOS, Mobile Web, and Windows Phone 7 development, but as newly created flavours mature you should see them on our shelves.

What & Why

BuildMobile publishes in three focussed directions, for each platform division. Discussion retains the high road and provides opinion on the direction of the platforms and their place within the industry. Tutorials travels the low road, and teaches the details of developing for each platform, spanning entry level and advanced topics. Featured Apps shines a light on selected projects that have been released into the wild.
