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.

In this section, you will understand the concept of a compiler in brief. It is recommended that everyone who codes in Dynamics NAV should understand the basics of compiler design.

The main aim of a compiler is to convert a high-level language such as C# and JAVA to a low-level language like machine-level language. The question is, Why do you need to do that? The reason is that we are not comfortable writing a problem in 0's and 1's, which is the form in which a computer system understands the commands. The figure shown in the Assembler section explains how the whole compilation process can be sliced into different entities, which handle different operations, leading to the transformation of a high-level language into machine-level bits. The first layer in most of the high-level development environments is the preprocessors.

Preprocessor

A preprocessor is nothing but a language-specific program, which processes the input high-level code into the output code that can be passed...
