InnerWorkings Coding Challenge - Win an XBOX

For those of you that have been following The Code Trip and have participated in one of our events, thank you!  We finally put up some information on the Code Trip site with details on how everyone can virtually participate in one of our contests.

One of our sponsors, InnerWorkings, has partnered with us to present the Code Trip Coding Challenge for our subscribers.  Throughout our visits along the tour, we've been talking about various aspects of the new features in Visual Studio 2008, C#, VB, and LINQ technologies.  We've partnered with InnerWorkings to select a few of their learning offerings and put them into a contest.  InnerWorkings has a unique offering in that their learning experience is IN THE IDE.  That's right, now a lab manual, not a step-by-step guide, but a challenge.  You are presented with a business scenario/task and asked to complete it.  You write the code.  The InnerWorkings engine then 'judges' your task completeness and accuracy based on the original requirements.  In the end you get a score.  It is a much different learning environment than most are used to, but I've found to be much more effective.

So on to the contest...

The task is simple: register online for free, select a learning and complete it.  Your score will be uploaded into the contest which has an end date of April 30 (to enable everyone to be able to complete the tasks).  At that time the highest score wins.  You will win an annual subscription to the InnerWorkings offering as well as an XBOX 360 game console.  It's a great opportunity to get some free learning materials for the latest technologies as well as have the opportunity to win some great prizes.
