NAVTechDays is already over for a while .. and yes, I already blogged about it . But I recently had to refer to a part of my session on “Development Methodologies” , and I noticed that someone named “Marcus Nordlund” actually put quite some time to completely “menutize” the video in the comment section of the video :-). Awesome effort that I needed to share! Thanks, Marcus! Here it is: Future 3:08 Development methodologies 3:52 Don’tNet 4:04 Embracing Depencies 4:43 Strict Guidelines 5:26 No Test, no approval 6:01 Extendable patterns 7:13 Avoid Breaking changes 8:23 When i’ts hard…

As you probably already picked up in the media – Microsoft has released its plans for Wave 1 release (in April) for this year. You can find all the information here: https://aka.ms/Dynamics365ReleasePlan . The document contains all the information on all we want to know regarding “what’s next” for all related applications, like Marketing, Customer Service, Field Service, …. and also our beloved “Business Central”.

It is actually very well described on Microsoft Docs here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dynamics365/business-central/dev-itpro/compliance/apptest-prefix-suffix . In short: you need to pre…

I did a poll recently during one of my sessions – and I was surprised that about half of the people don’t regularly use “snippets” in VSCode.. . Well, some of you probably know that I’m a big fan of snippets. Whoever has joined one of my sessions of the last couple of years where I was talking about VSCode, or was working with VSCode .. most probably, I was talking about, showing or using snippets. Honestly, I can’t live my life in VSCode without snippets. It would be so much less efficient .. . VSCode wouldn’t be much more than a notepad that is hooked up with Source Control in that…

First of all, this is my first post of this new year, so I’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all the best and happiness for 2020! Last year, I did a post on my new hobby “3D Printing” . Well, now we’re a year later, I’m still printing almost full time 24/7, so let me wish you all the best with some 3D Printed goodies I did for Xmas ;-). So now – “let’s get started” with ..
