Extensions 2.0 development training

Extensions is the new way of defining and deploying changes to your standard solution without the need to touch the code of it. Delivering a solution as Extension helps to reduce implementation and distribution efforts. Also, Extensions now is the only way to distribute your solution through Microsoft AppSource.

However, Extensions 2.0 comes with a whole new development paradigm and a new set of tools, technologies and methodologies. Adapting everything at once can become an overwhelming task for your team.

Let 1ClickFactory help your team jumpstart the journey to the new era of AL development.

2-day hands-on Extensions training

During the 1ClickFactory-designed 2-day Extensions 2.0 development for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central workshop developers will get acquainted with the general concepts of creating Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central Extensions in Visual Studio Code. This extensive workshop will cover:

Introduction to Extensions
Events-driven development
Mindset of Extensions development
Constraints of Extensions development
Developing Extensions for on-premises vs Dynamics 365
Introduction to Visual Studio Code, AL language and coding conventions
Source control with Visual Studio Code in Visual Studio Team Services GIT repository
Using Docker for local Extension testing environment
Hands-on Extensions 2.0 development

Using txt2al C/AL to AL code conversion tool
Using navcontainerhelper PowerShell library for converting C/AL code to AL
Refactoring code not handled by automatic conversion
Designing and building data migration from an add-on to Extensions

Microsoft AppSource technical validation requirements

Requirements for attendees: Participants must have at least 3 years of C/AL development experience to understand the concept of Events and to be familiar with Extensions 1.0.

We invited a 1ClickFactory instructor to train us on extensions because we believe in a bright future with them. Thanks to events and extensions, the solution became more independent as they enable to upgrade the solution independently of the core code. We are very happy with the content and professional delivery.

Floyd Chan, President/CEO at Qixas Group, USA

Developing extensions is an important topic for us: we were eager and excited to dive deep and figure out Extensions 2.0 capabilities as well as limitations. And we are always seeking to be pioneers in the market: joining the workshop and learning from the ones who have experience already is one of the fastest ways to get on board.

Taavi Tiirats, Dynamics NAV developer at Columbus Eesti

I left the workshop with an understanding there are no limitations regarding the development of Extensions. Sure, you will really have to rethink your code-structure a bit which will be a challenge for the majority of senior programmers, who are used to change objects rather than extend them, but developing the Extensions is really a future.

Maksims Klimanovics, Microsoft Dynamics NAV Solutions developer Navisoft

Is it too early to dive deep into Extensions? Even though it is true there are still lots of limitations, having in mind the speed Microsoft is approaching the market, Extensions will be fully capable in no time. And when this happens, we want to make sure we are ready for them.

Bogdan Siia, Senior NAV Developer at XAPT

Extensions are not just the only way to get your IP on the Microsoft AppSource. Extensions are the future for many pain points we have today. The competition in Poland is the same as other markets, HUGE. That is why we consistently invest in gaining knowledge to prepare ourselves and stay ahead of the competition.
