Do you want to know what my first experience with generative AI was? Wildly inconsistent results. Half the time, the response wasn’t in JSON so I could parse it, and when it did work, it was slow. The problem? My prompts were bad. So, I started figuring out how to make them better. What structure works best? How to determine the best temperature level? Should I care about function calling? Will my prompts perform well with 100 users? The more I figured out how to use generative AI, the more I realized I was becoming a “prompt engineer”. You know, the thing that’s supposed to replace all developers in the future. I’m not sure about that. But in the AI era, we need to know how to work with it. If you’d like to skip all the trial-and-error steps, join this session to learn how to take your prompts from a simple request that returns wildly inconsistent results to a complex prompt that makes your new AI features more stable and reliable.

If you have worked with BC containers, you probably know that Microsoft provides the required artifacts through PowerShell cmdlets. But there is a more elegant way: Through the BC artifact URL proxy, a simple HTTP request is enough and to make it even easier for your pipeline runs, there is now also an Azure DevOps extension utilizing the proxy. In this session, the creators Arthur and Tobias will show you how all of that works, how you can incorporate it in your pipeline and how development (with a devcontainer / Github Codespace) and operations (with a containerized Azure Function) are set up. BC Artifact Proxy Repository https://github.com/tfenster/bcartifacturl-proxy/ BC Artifact URL-Proxy DevOps Extension https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Arthurvdv.bcartifacturl-proxy Presenter: Arthur van der Vondervoort & Tobias Fenster Moderator: Bert Verneek Editing: Mats Thell Coordinator: Luc van Vugt 00:02:28 - Introduction Arthur and Tobias 00:04:14 - Agenda 00:04:34 - Why BCartifactUrl-Proxy 00:08:01 - How is the BCartifactURL-Procy Built? 00:08:59 - Demo: Quick view of the sources 00:15:48 - How does development work 00:16:29 - Demo: How does development work 00:20:54 - How it runs on azure 00:21:44 - Demo: Build and configuration in Azure 00:25:01 - Azure Devops 00:33:17 - Demo: Azure devops pipelines 00:35:41 - Azure devops extensions 00:37:59 - Demo: Quick view of the sources 00:43:38 - Azure devops extensions - lessons learned 00:45:27 - Q & A

With the introduction of the new No. Series app in the Business Foundation layer, Microsoft continues its efforts towards modularisation. Speaking of which, with runtime version 13.0, it is now much easier to achieve a better Separation of Concerns in a large app, as a new feature has been introduced that allows us to create multiple extensions for the same target in the same app. Let's take this moment to rethink the concept of Monoliths and take a step towards Modular Monoliths in AL.

Are you planning to build an AI solution, but you want to learn more about your deployment options? Have you heard somewhere that smaller, specialized models can be game-changers and want to try them? Do you need an AI that works even when the internet does not? Are you a developer that just wants to learn and experiment with AI, but you prefer to run everything locally on your machine? If you can answer 'yes' to any of these questions, then come to my session and I will show you how you can run an AI model on Azure or locally and use it from your code.

Ever felt pressured to align your AL development with C# practices? How often have you heard, "That's how object-oriented development is done in C#, we should do the same"? There is nothing wrong with copying useful patterns from other languages, but here is the twist: are these developers really talking about objects or just classes? Many assume they are the same, but the reality is, the original concept of OOP tells a different story. You do not need classes for object-oriented development. Join my session to learn about origins of OOP and how we can use it to write better AL code.
