Blackboard's Project NG

Many of you have attended our events over the past several months to learn more about Blackboard's Project NG. We've now begun to blog about
the new and exciting capabilities in our upcoming releases. Blackboard developers have much to be excited about.
Thanks to all who attended the 2008 Blackboard Developers Conference and Developer Days in Manchester, UK and Adelaide, Australia. Visit the EduGarage Archives for presentations, recordings, and sample code. DevCon 2009 will be held in National Harbor
, Maryland just south of Washington, DC.
