Although this book starts with some entry-level topics, it is expected that you have a general understanding of how to program using the AL programming language. If you plan on using a local, container-based development sandbox, you will need to have a basic level understanding of Docker and PowerShell.

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "We can do that by adding code to the OnInsert() trigger of the table so that our logic executes every time a record is inserted."

A block of code is set as follows:

"startupObjectId": 50101
"startupObjectType": "Page"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Your web browser will open and, once you log in, you will be presented with your new Television Show List page."
