Pleasanton, CA - February 13, 2007 - InnerWorkings announced today that it has created a partnership with Adventos to deliver an intensive three week workshop to jumpstart migration from Visual Basic 6.0 to Visual Basic 2005 and the .NET Framework 2.0.
Both firms advocate an approach to .NET learning for developers that goes beyond traditional training to ensure skills transfer through structured practice, on-the-job training, coaching, and mentoring.

The first week of this collaborative offering incorporates a foundation workshop on Object-Oriented Design and Development with the .NET Framework 2.0. Participating developers also complete 20+ hours of real coding challenges within Visual Studio using InnerWorkings’ unique structured practice methodology and code judging engine. Participants then move into two weeks of post-classroom work delivered by Adventos, with a focus on software architecture and building a real application with use cases. The entire program is fully supported by Adventos experts who will provide dedicated tuition, coaching, and mentoring.

“Adventos is excited to team up with InnerWorkings to bring to market a compelling solution for Visual Basic 6.0 to .NET migration,” said Mariano Delle Donne, CEO of Adventos LLC. “Our goal in providing these intensive workshops is to embrace industry best practices and ensure developer self sufficiency in migrating to Visual Basic 2005 and the .NET Framework.”

“InnerWorkings is proud to partner with Adventos for this important Visual Basic migration initiative,” said Francis McKeagney, CEO of InnerWorkings. “Now that mainstream support for Visual Basic 6.0 has ended, it is imperative that organizations move their Visual Basic developers to the .NET Framework. We are excited about working with Adventos to speed this important transition for organizations that rely heavily on their Visual Basic developers and code base.”

Under the terms of this migration primer, customers can send up to 16 Visual Basic developers for a three week engagement that includes an InnerWorkings foundation workshop on OOD&D with the .NET Framework 2.0, access to InnerWorkings’ coding challenges and reference framework for 90 days, and three weeks of onsite support and guidance from Adventos experts. This package also provides access to the Adventos Mobile Lab, which includes 16 mobile computers deployed on site for the duration of the workshop.
