Product Description
Created especially for experienced programmers with no previous knowledge of NAV development, this book is for people who want to learn as quickly as possible to create, modify or maintain NAV applications.
Microsoft® Dynamics(tm) NAV (formerly known as Navision) is a well established Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) application, part of the
Microsoft® Dynamics(tm) family.
Renowned for its challenging learning curve, Dynamics NAV is a complex piece of
software with a unique design structure and, for developers learning to modify or enhance it for vital business purposes, the task can sometimes be overwhelming.
This book will ease you through the complexities of NAV application development. You will learn the skills and develop the confidence to tackle your own critical NAV applications. This book will act as your experienced NAV programming mentor, helping you to become productive as a NAV developer much more quickly.
From basic NAV terminology and concept definitions, through the essential building blocks of NAV data structure and objects, you will gain an understanding of the fundamental underlying concepts of NAV. You will learn practical details about NAV object construction and the tools available, including the Table, Form, and Report Designers. You will learn how to use NAV's tools to effectively navigate through the various features of objects, including properties, triggers, and C/AL code and receive practical guidance on ways to develop and test in the unique NAV C/SIDE development environment.
A section on
software design for NAV is provided along with tips for efficient design of a new NAV application or enhancing an existing application. With its comprehensive collection of NAV information, this book is not only designed to help you learn, but can act as a reference as well.
- For experienced programmers with little or no previous knowledge of NAV development

Reader ReviewsThere isn't much choice for books on this topic, so you may have to buy this one anyway, but be forwarned that it is extremely wordy. There is a lot of filler like this: "Earlier we reviewed a list of all the elements of a Report object. Now we're going to learn about each of those elements. Our goal here is to understand how the pieces of the report puzzle fit together to form a useful, coherent whole." -- Wow, just get to the point! I need the information, not this padding. Also, don't expect detail on topics such as Integer as a data item of a report, and don't expect a detailed index that could help you use it as a reference book.
