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!

Making Your App Extensible

In this chapter, we'll look at some patterns and other things you can use to make it easier for you to maintain the application for future extensibility.

This is one of my favorite chapters in that once you know this information, you will naturally begin to design your solutions with all of these recipes in mind, thereby raising the bar of the applications you create.

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

  • Publishing events in your code
  • Enums
  • The Discovery design pattern
  • The Handled design pattern
  • The Variant Façade design pattern
  • The Argument Table design pattern
