InnerWorkings Offers Customers Free Access to Safari Books Online
Posted by InnerWorkingsPleasanton, CA - March 15, 2006 - Developers have told us that they’d like to see more reference materials built into our Practice Sets. We pay close attention to feedback from our developer community, so we’re delighted to announce a great new enhancement that comes at no additional charge to you.
Effective immediately, every InnerWorkings Practice Set includes access to three complete technical books selected from Safari Books Online. With these new references, developers can now directly access a series of highly-relevant online technical books that have been hand-picked to support the topics covered within each Practice Set.
The three books chosen for each Practice Set are available for the full activation period and are accessed through links on the Support tab of the InnerWorkings Developer Interface.
On clicking an embedded Safari link, developers are brought straight to the relevant page of the associated book on the Safari website. They can also jump to a main Safari page that allows complete access to any of the three books related to the Practice Set. No additional logins are required and access to all books is totally seamless.For the learner, the embedded Safari links add a new dimension to the tailored support provided by the Personal Tutor and the wealth of MSDN reference material already available with Practice Sets. Developers now have access to even more comprehensive and useful support materials to help them complete the required coding challenges. For example, Safari books can provide essential background and orientation for users with limited experience of the topic under discussion.
The new Safari books facility is available to all existing customers at no additional cost and is now built into our standard product. From today on, all Practice Sets downloaded will automatically include the embedded Safari links. Developers who wish to see this functionality in Practice Sets that they’ve already downloaded will simply need to re-install these Practice Sets (with no effect on their scores or progress) to benefit from Safari access. Enjoy!
