Summary

In this chapter, we reviewed some of the more advanced Business Central tools and techniques. By now, you should have a strong admiration for the power and flexibility of Business Central. Many of these subject areas will require more study and hands-on practice. We spent a lot of time on Role Center construction because that is the heart of the Role Tailored Experience. Much of what you learned about Role Center design and construction can be applied across the board, in role tailoring other components. We went over XMLports and web services, and then showed how the two capabilities can be combined to provide a simple but powerful method of interfacing with external systems. By now, you should almost be ready to begin your own development project. In the next chapter, we will cover the debugger, extensibility (adding non-AL controls to pages), and some additional topics.
