Building Practical Solutions Using Blackbaud’s API
Time(s): Tue 11:00 AM Session Level: Advanced Speaker:Shaun Sullivan
Session Description: Blackbaud provides a wide range of customization programming interfaces. In this session, Blackbaud’s CTO Shaun Sullivan will walk through some practical examples of using these technologies. While diving deep into the examples, he will provide a solid foundation for employing these technologies at your organization. Topics covered will include in-product business rule customization with Microsoft® Visual Basic®; building “mash-ups” combining Blackbaud solutions with third-party services such as Microsoft® Virtual Earth, Google™ Maps and others; using the Application Programming Interface (API) from .NET® development languages such as C# and VB.NET; understanding the API programming model when used in a Web server environment; wrapping the API with Web services to integrate solutions; and building custom screens using the Custom View API.

Being based this side of the Atlantic I won't be able to attend but I would be really interested to hear what tell you? If anybody wants to report back about this I would really appreciate it.
This was one of my favorite sessions at the conference. For those of you that attended and gave Shaun your card, have you gotten the code examples yet?

I haven't received the code samples yet.

Nothing yet.
I have spoken with Shaun and did receive permission to put the code samples up in the shared files section of the Forum
