This workshop leads the delegate through a simulated implementation project, where the goal is to customize Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018 or 365 Business Central to meet a customer’s requirement.
After a thorough introduction to the Visual Studio Code editor with integration to an off-site GitHub repository, the delegate will be given a simulated functional requirement document and must create a working solution.
The solution will be created purely as an extension in Visual Studio Code, without changing a single object of the standard application of Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2018.
The course will be 80% hands-on and includes pdf course materials. Virtual machines will be provided, including licenses.
The course covers:
- The Visual Studio Code Editor
