Overview of this book

The book begins by giving you a brief introduction to setting up your NAV environment and shows you how to install and configure it according to your requirements. You will then dive deep into the latest design patterns, network architecture, and topologies. We will show you how you can integrate NAV with the Microsoft platform, and secure your deployment by managing roles and permissions. Moving on, we will explain how to monitor and manage server instances using the Administration tool. We’ll discuss how you can take advantage of the expanded extensibility and connectivity capabilities for a tighter integration with the cloud as well as handheld devices. Then, we’ll show you how you can make use of the PowerBI capabilities that have been built into Dynamics NAV. By the end of the book, you will be confident in developing and administering a Dynamics NAV implementation that will leverage all of the new features.

Pros and cons of branching


Always make sure you create a branch if it is required. With proper branching, developers can work more freely and in parallell on different issues. Developers can also roll out small fixes quickly without extensively testing the latest development version of the code.

On the other hand, having too many branches can create more complex issues than having a single branch. It can create problems while merging code. Always make sure you keep on pulling the changes at regular intervals, or your branch might lead to extra time and effort just to merge, resulting in delay of the project.

So, make sure that branching is needed and educate your developers enough before implementing it in your department.
