During the workshop, we will reveal all the secrets that are hidden in the Dynamics NAV Source Code. You will get answers to questions like…

  • How is Dynamics NAV architected and how do the modules communicate?
  • What are Design Patterns and Anti Patterns and how do they apply to Dynamics NAV?
  • How can I avoid conflicts during my object merge?
  • What impact do monthly rollups have to my roadmap and release strategy?
  • Can the new Delta Files help me get more organized?
  • Why does Dynamics NAV have so much Code Cloning?
  • …

Being programmed around the globe this Master Class will now again be held in The Netherlands by either Dynamics NAV MVP Mark Brummel or Luc van Vugt.
