In this chapter, we began with understanding the preparation needed before starting the development process such as setting up the development environment, version control, and setting up the process for a periodic code review. In the next section, we learned, in detail, about the development process in Dynamics AX, starting with conceptualizing the solution, understanding the importance of effective data design, implementing business logic, and building custom code considering long-term view/building for temporary use. We also learned about the different recommendations on the UI patterns for effective and consistent user interface design. We learned the common best practices and recommendations for coding in X++.
