The NLA training was parsed from an Excel spreadsheet. Within the spreadsheet, each course had a URL that linked out to a dedicated course description page. I used Hpricot to open the URL and parse out (or “screen scrape”) the HTML that I wanted, so it was all local to the applications DB.

This provides better performance overall, and gives me the option to avoid using Ajax for loading in favor of reading it straight from the object itself.

The pop-up box is a FancyZoom box.

The Competency Management Service (CMS) was built to supplement the Network Learning Alliance. It’s a tool that allows a company to measure its performance by modeling the competencies of its employees.

Each company can build models that can be assigned to its employees. A model is really just a group of competencies that accurately reflects the very job being modeled. Each competency can be reviewed by multiple managers. Reviews are really the heart of the system.

The service suggests NLA training based on the outcome of those reviews. It has seamless integration with NLA via API’s on both ends, and all of the company management and authentication happens external to the CMS. It was a fun and challenging project to work on.
