InnerWorkings, a leading provider of learning and performance solutions for software developers and their managers, is showcasing its offering at VSLive! San Francisco.

The company’s flagship product, InnerWorkings Developer, includes a smart client desktop application that presents practice-based learning challenges to developers using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 and the .NET Framework. This smart client integrates directly with Visual Studio .NET, allowing developers to complete rigorous coding challenges directly within the IDE.

The company has also developed Inferent, a rules-based code judging engine that analyzes your code and provides real-time corrective feedback. InnerWorkings’ smart-client desktop application communicates with the InnerWorkings platform via a series of Web services that utilize the .NET Framework. Development managers can view key learning reports and generate comparative performance metrics for their distributed development organization.

“Microsoft is pleased that InnerWorkings has integrated its smart client learning and performance solution with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003,” said Christopher Flores, group product manager in the .NET Developer Product Management Group at Microsoft Corp. “By giving developers a rich and interactive tool to enhance their coding skills, InnerWorkings is helping them become more productive and efficient in creating .NET Framework-based applications.”

Many organizations seek to provide rigorous, scalable, and dynamic learning options for their development staff. For example, InnerWorkings provides breakthrough learning and performance solutions on Microsoft ASP.NET-based Web development to Wells Fargo, an organization that seeks to provide a stimulating and advanced learning environment for their .NET Framework-based developers.

Today, InnerWorkings is announcing the availability of two Practice Sets on ASP.NET-based Web development. A typical InnerWorkings Practice Set contains 20 hours of actual coding challenges for .NET Framework-based developers. Practice Sets are designed to contain real-world programming challenges augmented by coaching, feedback, support, and reporting. In addition, InnerWorkings provides context-sensitive links to trusted reference material from the MSDN and Safari Tech Books Online (http://innerworkings.safaribooksonline.com/) to support the learning process.

The available Practice Sets demonstrate how to develop Web-based applications using Microsoft ASP.NET and Microsoft Visual C# .NET. The ASP.NET features that are covered include topics such as Web controls, state management, input validation, exception handling, and user controls. Other topics covered include server controls, globalization, localization, ADO.NET, and deployment. In addition, several techniques, best practices, and design patterns are identified and applied in the context of a multilayered application.
