Development Practice Update: Today the web, Tomorrow the world

Yes, fellow development practitioners, the development practice project is working hard on its own website. The Development Practice website will be up and running at the end of December 2008, loaded with all the project history, intrigue you can stomach, the complete low-down on the project interaction with SAQA, and all the learning materials needed for a competent development practitioner, will be available ‘free of charge’. The project will be applying the creative commons open source licensing to all the materials and it will be available to all NPO’s subscribing to similar open source licensing.
