About the authors

Rene Gayer

Theory or Practice? This was the question Rene Gayer faced after finishing school. He decided for the practical side of things and completed a commercial education, before he finally entered the world of ERP. His main interest in this field since 1998 is the Microsoft Dynamics® NAV ERP solution, which was formerly known as Navision.

After some years his experience in this area led to the founding of his own company, MBS-TRAINING, that is today the prime partner for IT-companies in Austria and Switzerland, becoming ready in Microsoft Dynamics® . Beside that he regularly delivers speeches as a Promoter and MVP about Microsoft and works as a lecturer at various universities of applied sciences.

On January 1st, 2007 and again on January 1st, 2008 and January 1st, 2009 Rene Gayer was awarded the MVP - Most Valuable Professional - by Microsoft®. The Most Valuable Professionals (MVPs) of Microsoft are acknowledged and easy-to-reach persons, who have extensive knowledge about one or more Microsoft® products. They are active in both Online- and Offline-Communities to offer other Microsoft customers their expertise and competence.

I've had the plesure of reading this book. I think it's a great book, if you already knows Dynamics NAV, but is new to NAV 2009. So far I've not had so much time to "play" with NAV 2009, so the book really gave alot of great tips and tricks.

My favorite chapters was 5 (Web Services), 6 (Page Transformation) and 7 (What's new).

I think the technical level of the book is rather high. So I will not recommend the book to someone new to NAV, but rather to the experienced consultant or developer who want's to get started with NAV 2009.
