"AppDev KSource gives you all of the benefits of a Microsoft course, but you learn at your own pace, and don't need to miss a week of work to do it...For us, if you consider the fact that we can give our team access to all of these courses for an entire year, and then compare that to the cost of each person going to one training class for one subject -- AppDev KSource is a much better value. Each of us can take four or five courses a year as opposed to just one, and we spend no time out of the office."
- Burrell Walters, Software Developer,  Woodforest Bank

"KSource has definitely saved us time -- and time is money. We used to do offsite training and it was too disruptive to the department.  Then, we went to in-house media and it was difficult to gather as a group. With KSource, we’ve found that working individually and at our own pace has resulted in getting more training done as a whole. For those who are newer to the technology, they go through the entire training.  For those of us who are more experienced, we go to the KSource library and easily reference the information we need for a project. The ease of installation and the responsiveness with KSource has been excellent. Now, we’re looking at some of the coursework tracks preparing us for Microsoft certifications."
- Robert Saar, Aveda

"Our development team is in the process of rewriting our existing software to .NET and we were looking for a cost efficient option that was user-friendly and accessible to remote workers who were offsite. After researching all the available technical training options available, we chose AppDev’s KSource Online Learning.
 
KSource has been an excellent learning resource for our team.  The courses are very engaging and the instruction is second to none. AppDev training is much more than just media-based instructor-led training. Each course comes with pre-and-post exams, printable courseware and practice code. I particularly find the code walkthrough in each course very helpful and real-world like. The AppDev team is very resourceful and assisted us in setting up a training schedule so we can learn new technologies and still be productive with our day-to-day work.
  
The administrator tools with KSource are also very helpful. Our administrator can view multiple reports to see who is using the system and gauge how users are progressing. I highly recommend KSource for your technology learning needs."
- Cindy Garret, Software Developer, Basys, Inc.

“As a manager of a development team, keeping my employees on top of the latest technologies is always a challenge. Offsite training becomes very expensive for an entire team and the training can be hit and miss. I needed an affordable online learning option that could give my team a common base of knowledge. KSource Online Learning has helped me achieve this goal.  We typically dedicate about three hours a week utilizing KSource together as a team, participating in courses and discussing the learning material.  Afterwards, developers can go back on their own to work on the labs and practice code KSource provides. 
 
"The technical learning provided by AppDev is excellent. The course selection is strong, and the delivery of the material is very good. Many of our developers use the SQL Server and Visual Studio courses as a reference when they are working on projects. I would definitely recommend KSource Online Learning for development teams looking for a customizable and cost-effective technical learning option.”
- Matt Kowalski, Manager of Database Development, Minitab, Inc.

"Our employees love the flexibility that AppDev KSource Online Learning offers. They can learn new technologies when it is convenient for them. AppDev's content is excellent and the instructors are very knowledgeable and easy to follow. KSource Online Learning is a cost-effective method of getting employees training on the latest technologies. I highly recommend it ."
- Ronda Asta, Jacobs Technology, a subsidiary of Jacobs Engineering

"AppDev's top-notch content is what separates them from the competition. They have the most widely respected instructors in the industry, and courseware and labs that work hand-in-hand with the training."
- Don Jelley, New Horizons of Northern New England

"We require all new employees to get up to speed on Microsoft technologies using KSource Online Learning. For the first several weeks of their employment, they are required to watch the rich AppDev content and then use the practice code and pass the tests before they are assigned to a client site. For our more experienced developers, KSource allows them the opportunity to learn new skill sets without the time and costs involved with off-site training. I like the ability to be able to monitor employees' progress with the administrative features of KSource. AppDev provides great content which is easy to follow. If you just want to review one topic in a course, it is simple to find. I recommend AppDev as a training solution! It is a cost-effective way to get employees up to speed with the latest technologies."
- Tony Mohl, Magenic Technologies

"AppDev KSource Online Learning has improved our Mentored Learning program...we have built upon our Mentored Learning success by adding quality content produced by AppDev."
- Andrew Schwartz, New Horizons of Northern New England

"KSource Online Learning allows me to easily train my team in the office right at their desks. The content is always up-to-date and practical, and the system is loaded with useful features including the ability to track employee progress.

- Brian Stoner, Kraft Foods

"I like KSource and the ability to manage it centrally. It's simple to administer, and I can get reports on each developer's progress and scores."
- Rick Gifford, Alliance Enterprises

“With AppDev courseware, there is a lot of practical information packed into a short amount of time. There are three and four day classes which make it easier for my clients to get away and train. It’s great to be able to customize the courses to meet the needs of my market. In addition, I love the fact that I can put my logo on the books. The customer support is excellent – I have had nothing but good encounters with the sales and support team.”
- Doug Meyers, Training Sales Coordinator, Entre Computer Solutions

“I am extremely impressed by the .Net programming courses produced by AppDev.  The instructors in the video training component are engaging and knowledgeable.  They clearly have a passion for the subjects they teach. Both the video training and courseware are easy to follow and cover an amazing amount of information. Best of all, each course does a masterful job of applying conceptual information to real world problems and scenarios. Whether you are new to programming or a seasoned professional looking to upgrade your skills, you will not find a better training program than one from AppDev.”
- Susan Wilbert, Director of Academics - IT, TechSkills

“We love AppDev courseware and we love our sales rep! We are forced to use Microsoft courseware if they have a particular book on a specific subject, but AppDev courseware is so superior to anything Microsoft puts out. The curriculum is far more detailed and the labs are definitely superior! We will continue to use your product when allowed (mostly for advanced classes that Microsoft doesn’t offer) and I always look forward to talking with our sales rep…who actually makes me feel inferior because of her product knowledge.”
- Bill Becker, OakTree Software Inc.

“AppDev content teaches valuable skills in a way that’s easy to understand. The labs are clear and easy to follow, the slides are well laid out, and the courseware is good reference material. Our AppDev representative is always responsive, friendly and able to find the answers we need.”
- Rhonda Johnson, Education Coordinator, SoftSource Consulting, Inc. 

"Our instructors prefer AppDev courseware over Microsoft courseware -- and the prices are lower.  The support from the AppDev sales team is excellent.  They always know the answer to any question. The set-up directions for the PCs are clear and complete and when questions do arise, the technical support staff is quick to respond with a call or email to walk through the question and provide a complete answer.”
- John Spallone, ProTech

"I was quite impressed with the chapters that I taught from AppDev’s LINQ for C# 2008 class. They are absolutely up to AppDev’s usual high standards. The descriptions and the examples are well-created and also can tie-in to previous knowledge and experience with the chapters on Delegates and Events in the C# language course. I found them well-written, easy and fun to teach.”
- Drew Fierst, Senior Developer/Analyst, Logical Imagination

"I’ve been using AppDev courses for a few years now and AppDev is much better than other courseware. I like the easy, lightweight setup involved, and the labs just work, unlike many other courses that overly complicate the setup and labs. AppDev courses are well put together and naturally flow from topic to topic – always in-depth, but not overwhelming to students. The sales and support staff at AppDev are very easy to work with, very professional and respond quickly to any inquiry, large or small.”
- Rachel Appel, Instructor, MVP, ASPInsider, MCT

“AppDev courses are released on time. They cover a wide range of development topics in depth, and usually require little correction or revision. The explanations in the text are comprehensive and the inline examples amply demonstrate the principles and skills being taught in the class. The labs are well thought out, short and to the point. The labs and inline examples are well tested before the course is released -- They always work!
 
Depending on the students, there are two ways of using AppDev courseware – lecture first and have the students do the labs at the end of the lecture, or pause the lecture and have the students do the in-line examples. The Students can then use the labs for revision.
 
At one time the majority of students in my class were certification candidates --  now, with far fewer students interested in taking certification, it is very important that the courseware covers more than just the certification topics and new product features. AppDev's courseware emphasizes acquiring real world proficiency in new skills, as well as covering the required topics for certification.
 
Developing high quality training is AppDev's core business– and it’s apparent in the quality of their courseware.  I have used AppDev courseware both as a standalone course and as a supplement to existing training materials.”
- Mark Bell, Instructor, MCT

“Many other publishers simply produce a book of slide handouts or include just a very brief statement or two to support the topic.  AppDev material provides a thorough, well-written, easy to understand discussion of why, when and how to apply a specific technology or practice.
 
AppDev courseware is both a learning tool and reference.  Many of my former students have told me they keep the book on their bookshelf in arms reach and refer back to it often. The pages are ‘dog-eared’ or marked with yellow sticky notes for those favorite parts.”
- Richard A. Banks, Instructor, SoftResult

"We love working with the professionals at AppDev. Their product is wonderful; we are always receiving timely updates and news about new product offerings and the customer service is phenomenal. They are dedicated to my satisfaction and their responsiveness is amazing. We are very well taken care of by AppDev."
- Erin Mann Keeter, New Horizons Computer Learning Center

"AppDev courseware is thorough and highly detailed. They don't assume that you have prior knowledge of the subject, so they cover the topics inside and out. The courseware makes even the most complicated and technical subjects easy to learn. In addition to the exceptional content, AppDev has been enjoyable to work with. Their customer service is second to none."
- Sybil Earl, New Horizons of Southern California

"The content in AppDev courseware is extremely detailed and complete. Some of our students need to gain certification and AppDev Technical Courseware correlates nicely with this. The customer service I have received from AppDev is top notch. I highly recommend AppDev for your courseware needs."
- Dave Shriner, ENS Group

"During the past two years we have used AppDev courseware extensively for a variety of clients throughout the U.S. We have been pleased with the detail level of the courseware, the excellent set of demos and lab files that are included on CD-ROM, and AppDev's friendly service."
- Steve Heckler, Accelebrate

"We have found that AppDev course materials provide coverage on Microsoft development products that is not provided by any other courseware vendor. The students feel that the course materials are very valuable after the course is over."
- Julie Mettie, Computer Horizons Education Division

"I highly recommend AppDev courseware for your SQL Server 2005 training needs. The lessons flow nicely, are detailed, and easy to follow. The labs within the courseware are relevant and do an excellent job of reinforcing the content being taught."
- LuAnn Derikart, New Horizons Computer Learning Center, Pittsburgh
