I am sorry, but I will keep you waiting for a week or so as I will be on holidays enjoying the Southern French atmosphere. Hope the weather will not keep me from doing that. Au révoir.

Yesterday, Jill Frank, Senior Programming Writer for Microsoft Dynamics NAV, posted a blog on msdn How We Use MSDN Feedback to Improve Help . I would really want to encourage you to read it and pick the gauntlet she is throwing at us. As MS Dynamics GDL team member I was there when the NAV UA group started to redefine their goals and processes and I know they we really into improving their work. One of the outcomes has been the release on MSDN of the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2009 Developer and IT…

Quality is something that has been in my veins for ages already. Although many around me might expect so, I cannot claim I was born with it. I can clearly recall my father rebuking me because of my sloppiness. Maybe that was just adolescent matters, who knows; long hair, careless attitude.

When reading both Mark's and Waldo's blog on their pioneering endeavor at the Swedish TechDays, i.e. presenting Dynamics NAV, I was not fully surprised. Don't get me wrong - read below. For years I have already been following the Dutch equivalent from the sideline being a MS tester on Dynamics NAV.
