Looking for feedback as always. As you might know (or not) we ship a set of standard reports with ForNAV which are optimized for the product. With these reports you’ll also get a set of tables, pages, codeunits and in the next version even a query. Out of the box, ForNAV is translated to all the...

Let’s recap on the blog posts from the last three days. Why C/Side deserves one more round. At least… Visual Studio Code is an awesome editor but due to the nature/legacy of Business Central and many ISV solutions it can be less productive when moving large monolitical solutions one-to-one.

Writing a blog post help me clear my mind and get feedback to my idea’s.

Walk with me through the learning curve of a developer who is new to Business Central. We’ll assume he/she is familiar with modern web development. Wow! I’ll give Microsoft the WOW effect.

Sometimes you need an external signal to rethink your strategy. This morning I read this tweet on my timeline. @markbrummel Thx for sharing your thoughts around business central.
