V3 Beta Release
We built a new version of CODAP from the ground up on modern frameworks, ready to serve the CODAP community for decades to come. The current version of CODAP (Version 2) was built with now-outdated technology and is no longer easy to maintain or extend. CODAP (Version 3) supports new features and provides a foundation for the future of entirely new data-driven tools and technologies.
Bill Finzer, CODAP product lead, introduces CODAP Version 3 Beta.
