Overview of this book

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central is a complete business management solution that can help you streamline business processes, connect individual departments in your company, and enhance customer interactions. Ok. That first part was really professional sounding, right? Now, let’s get into what this cookbook is going to do for you: put simply, it’s going to help you get things done. This book will help you get to grips with the latest development features and tools for building applications using Business Central. You’ll find recipes that will guide you in developing and testing applications that can be deployed to the cloud or on-premises. For the old-schoolers out there, you’ll also learn how to take your existing Dynamics NAV customizations and move them to the new AL language platform. Also, if you haven’t figured it out already, we’re going to be using very normal language throughout the book to keep things light. After all, developing applications is fun, so why not have fun learning as well!

Protecting your Intellectual Property

Any developer with Visual Studio Code, and access to a Business Central system with your application installed on it, can debug your application. This is great from a support standpoint, but it means that they'll see all of your source code, which isn't so awesome. As a developer or a partner, you may have put great effort into creating the application, so putting the source code out for anyone to see is probably going to be a less-than-ideal situation.

This recipe will show you how to configure your application so that your source code can be protected.
